I have already lost count how many times you gave me the choice between sink or swim and it is definitely not very pleasant to learn from you that you are not interested in my opinion. Since you are a member of the Debian Games Team, why didn't you simply ask all your questions on our list or on IRC and closed the sponsorship bugs? Besides there was always the opportunity to discuss everything in detail, at least in one other language to avoid any misunderstandings. This is not about Debian's policy or your right to make improvement proposals. You simply don't listen to the one who knows this game best without having any experience with games of this caliber. I presume the main issue here is that you never followed my advice to have a look at the ufoai source package and to start with the game's core. Did you ever compile the sources and play the game? From the flow of our conversation, I can only deduce: No. You constantly ignored my objections and never understood the necessity to create Debian compliant source tarballs out of upstream's Git repository and most importantly, how this is actually achieved in a Policy compliant way. Your question about the file removals could have been easily answered by looking at the get-orig-source target. Instead you jumped to a conclusion without considering the package maintainers ideas. The decision is not about reality or illusion. More about: Is mutual respect important? I think it is, so it's high time to quit here. Regards, Markus
