Of course, a native open-source engine would be much better. (I already have locally built .deb packages that are fully working but they rely on a first installation using WINE, something I could not easily automate) My only remaining blocker is the ability to extract/include the CD key from/into the game MPQ archives. I have been able do that for StarCraft and Warcraft 3 (already supported by ./play.it), but without remembering the exact details I know that I encountered a blocker when trying to replicate that with Diablo 2. > Maybe I should contact the upstream developers and ask if they plan to > continue development.

Seeing people interested in including their work into Debian could spark a new wave of motivation.
