I never got round to packaging dpmaster, a master server (rendezvous
point for advertising individual game servers) for the Quake family of
games. Feel free to pick up
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636070 if anyone would
like to see that in Debian.
(The Quake family of games are a lot less centralized than something
like an MMO: it is already the case that anyone can run a quake-server,
quake3-server, openarena-server etc. that hosts around 10-20 players,
the master server just makes it easier for players to find those servers.)
