Hi, I have packaged Angband 4.2.5. I don’t know if Alexandre is still working on it but I have not seen his packages uploaded. My packages are not ready for upload as there are lots of things to fix (in the packaging, not the game). I would also like to build a nonfree package (to replace angband-audio, which can safely be removed) – Angband ships with non-free graphical tiles as well as non-free sounds. I can create a DFSG-free orig.tar.gz, and a non-free one with the tiles and sounds. I can then configure debhelper to detect the presence or absence of the non-free tarball and build either two packages (angband and angband-data) or three (including the non-free one). But I don’t know how if that will render the *source* package non-free. I and many others spent much of the late 2000s tracking down all the original contributors and persuading them to re-licence their code under the GPL (which wasn’t known when they wrote it), so it was a big achievement to get Angband into main from 3.0. So I would like to keep the source package free if possible, even if this means having to maintain two source packages (which I don’t know how to do). I have a number of questions about the packaging process (sbuild can’t install imagemagick; dh_autoconf rewrites install-sh; version deps of libc and sdl-mixer-dev have increased unnecessarily; many more) – would anyone be willing to mentor me to get these things fixed? Anyway, it is possible that Alexandre is far more expert than me (I am an amateur with a desk job) and his packages may be much better. My only advantage is being a member of the upstream devteam, but that does not make me the best person to be the Debian maintainer. But at least 4.2.5 will get into Debian eventually.

If you’re interested in the history of the Alioth VCS repository, it was archived at https://alioth-archive.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ (there are three tarballs, angband-audio.git.tar.xz, angband-debian.git.tar.xz, and angband.git.tar.xz; I haven’t checked their contents).
