I didn't know the game name change but I'm definitely interested in
it. Thanks for telling me! It's great :)
I'm a bit busy these week, and in general with Lenny release, but as
soon as I have some spare time I'll definitely package it. I'll
definitely try to go for it after next weekend. I'm CC'ing the Debian
Games Team mailing list just in case someone steps in and wants to
help with the packaging.

I'm copying and pasting them here for the mailing list:
Debian (testing/unstable) and Ubuntu:
* sudo apt-get install subversion cmake build-essential help2man
libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libcairo2-dev librsvg2-dev
libasound2-dev libjack-dev libboost-thread-dev
libboost-serialization-dev libboost-program-options-dev
libboost-regex-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libavcodec-dev
libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmagick++9-dev libsamplerate0-dev
libpulse-dev libxml++2.6-dev

That's great, to finally have some free songs in the game format!!! :)

For the current release I guess it will be better to release them
together then, I guess, and separate it afterwards.
Thanks a lot for the good work, I love the game :)
