Bug#546800: RM: starfighter -- ROM; copyright infringement

[Sylvain Beucler <beuc@beuc.net>]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm part of the Debian Games Team, which is maintaining the
starfighter package.

Last year upstream stated that the graphics and the sounds from
starfighter have unclear origin (picked from the Internet) and hence
cannot be redistributed.

For reference see:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-games-list/2008-August/msg00030.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/games/2009-September/000313.html

Other games by upstream were repackaged without the sounds, but for
starfighter this also includes the graphics, and nobody volunteered to
replace them one year after this was discovered.

Hence we request removal of starfighter from unstable and stable.
