Description : science-fiction exploration/strategy adventure game in space
It was originally both developed and published by Channel 7 for DOS in 1994.
Gameplay is real-time, featuring trading, diplomacy, and strategy, and
somewhat resembles Star Control 2 / Ur-Quan masters.
DOS sources have been changed to make it possible to compile it with the
freepascal compiler under Linux and SDL, and many bugs were fixed.

The DOS version of the game was originally released under GPLv3 on
http://ironseed.net by original developers,
ported to SDL by https://github.com/y-salnikov/ironseed_fpc
and further improved by
https://github.com/nukebloodaxe/ironseed_fpc
and finally many bugs fixed (and currently maintained upstream) by:

I've done basic Debian packaging in github repo above (and package now
cleanly builds and works in pdebuild in Buster), but after reading
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What.27s_wrong_with_upstream_shipping_a_debian.2F_directory.3F
I'll be removing Debian stuff from Github upstream, and recreating it at Debian as
this seems to be much prefered.
If anyone wants to give it a try and provide feedback, I'd be grateful!
I'll be updating this bug with progress as it happens.
