How very, very silly of me not to have seen this before. I'll get a new
version uploaded as soon as I can.

I see that error now, but I don't think I saw it when I first uploaded
it. I remember a similar error on the "depends" line, which may be why
I specified the j2re1.3 | j2re1.4, but I'm pretty sure that the only
lintian error I was getting was that the driver script,
/usr/games/filler was not setgid games (which it can't be... it's a
script).
I've created a new set of package file and made them available at
http://www.damour.info/debian/. Could someone please submit them to the
upload queue for me (as I'm not a Debian Developer)?
Thank you all for your help.
