Thanks for for your interest in keeping Alien Arena in Debian up-to-date. I have probably mentioned this a thousand times already but maintaining a Debian package, regardless of being a game or server daemon, requires real-life people. Ideally there would be someone from the Alien Arena community, who likes Debian, would prepare Debian updates. I am sure this would increase your chances to get a new release into Debian. I'm willing to sponsor updates of existing packages if they are of good quality. The problem is there are very few people who seem to care for Alien Arena in Debian at the moment. If we want to address this problem, we need more contributors who like games and want to spend some of their free time on maintaining them. Otherwise we will see a decline of supported games in free software distributions in the long-run. Regards, Markus
