Thanks Guus!

I'd strongly suggest to split the architecture independend data part from
the package to race-common to avoid bloating the Debian archive.
Please raise up hands if you need a patch for this.

I would see no problems with the license if you would make a separate
package race-sound in non-free which *depends* from race which imlies
that you downloaded tha race game before. But I'm no license expet.

You should use versioned dependency from the ClanLib packages, IMHO.
Thanks for your effort, Guus. I suggest to include Race into
Debian-Jr.
Kind regards
