My packages are here (from a revision a few days back):
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~mafm/deb/sumwars/
But there are pending issues that make it non-DFSG, mostly a fonts at
this point. I wrote about this in a post in their forum and removed
some of the "offending" fonts. All that I can do regarding the
remaining problematic fonts is to remove them from the source
packages, and patch the GUI-definition files using the fonts for other
generic fonts already in Debian. The result, the in-game menus and
messages, might look a bit "crippled", though.
Other than that, since I recategorised RFP->ITP the bug I've been
doing lots of things, like creating "make install" targets, refurbish
a lot of upstream code to use paths in /usr/share/games/sumwars/...
rather than locally installed data, and things like that. It's not as
if I was waiting sitting and doing nothing :-)
Cheers.
