Bug#765981: debian-edu-artwork-spacefun: source package contains png files instead of generating those from .svg

retitle 765981 spacefun misses a png in the binary package
# 765981 had to be retitled anyway, as the subject was broken

thanks

Hi Mike,

btw, I'd really appreciate if you could take the second and remove me from 
cc:s when replying to debian-edu bugs. "Really appreciate", nothing more, 
nothing less. Anyway...

so, IOW, we dont have sources for spacefun. So we do have two options now, 
ignore that, and do what you suggest. That's how I instructed control@b.d.o 
for now. 

Or, we do the proper thing and drop spacefun as we lack the original sources 
to generate the pngs, as evident. I'll have to think whether we actually can 
*not* do that :/

Talking with the artist atm again, the source is not an svg but a "3d mesh 
with 2d textures" (done with some tool not in Debian)... he estimates 2h to 
re-create svg sources... not sure if he will find the time.. we should never 
accept artwork without sources again. Grrrrr.


cheers,
	Holger, disappointed that you don't seem to care about reduzing the  	
		size of d-e-a to something sensible. But there is #765980 for
		that.
