Tuxracer is the only package with long outstanding bugs. Most of them
are not easily fixable and there is no upstream anymore where these can
be taken to. The original upstream has changed the game's licence and
does not even offer the original GPL'd version anymore. Initiatives
like OpenRacer seem to be dead, too.
The urgent issues have been fixed by NMUs while I was dormant. (thanks NMUers)
I do not intend to just give away the package, unless somebody convinces
me that he or she really intends to dive deep into the code (which I
still lack the time to do).

REXML has become part of the standard library shipped with Ruby 1.8.
Together with the ruby maintainers we decided that ruby1.8 should build
librexml-ruby1.8. But for Ruby 1.6 librexml-ruby1.6 is still neccersary
and is not built from ruby1.6 source, as it is not included there.
People still use ruby 1.6. When Ruby1.6 gets dropped, librexml-ruby as a
distinct source package will disappear.
