Right, since it depends on MAME (SDLMAME, XMAME - AFAIK only XMAME is in 
Debian atm), whose license is restrictive, I had put it in Section: 
non-free/games (debian/control). Was that the right thing (I must say I 
still have trouble with some Debian terms) or is there something else to do?

Oh, and there's some licensing issues to check on some source files with 
upstream, so it will takea few weeks before it's uploaded to 
mentors.debian.net anyway.
