As I mentioned in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660433#18
there are decent jigsaw puzzle games in Debian: "palapeli", "xjig" and others.
I'm not that impressed with "libre-jigsaw" but the images are truly nice.
Perhaps the best would be to package images separately as a standalone source
package to benefit other jigsaw puzzle games as well as any other use such as
desktop backgrounds etc. In this case package description shall be neutral
i.e. it doesn't have to mention "libre-jigsaw".
The game packaging shall be improved. Paul already stressed the main points of
importance but also you may consider
* using "javahelper".
* to use up-to-date Standards (debian/control)
* use xz compression for source and binaries.
* tracking packaging in publicly accessible VCS.
By the way what's the point installing that many (14) icons to
"/usr/share/icons/hicolor"? Is it really necessary?
Cheers,
Dmitry Smirnov
