I agree, if celestia is in good shape and can be a drop-in replacement. Which seems
to be looking at http://www.shatters.net/celestia/, and at
packages.debian.org/celestia.

Feel free to file a bug against 'ftp.debian.org' asking for its removal. I am
curious, however, as to which data files uses celestia. Openuniverse used 'gliese'
and/or 'yale' which are both non-free (and celestia seems to be on main)
