I will address the specific questions about the packaging and code base in the next message, which will omit ‘debian-devel-games’. Thank you all for this forum, and feel free to subscribe to Bug#804947 if you want to continue to follow this conversation.

Thanks for the review. > Why can't you package the later free versions now? The new upstream developers have shuffled sources around a lot, and I am coming to the conclusion I'll need to change the set of sources and binary packages in order to reliably continue to track distinct upstream source releases. On the other hand, the existing packaging worked well enough in the past, and I'm not yet familiar enough with the code base to uproot it entirely. That should wait until I have the experience of at least one release of this package under my belt. So as a practical matter, I would like to release a working, maintainable package now, even with some items left on the To Do list; and tackle the larger task, of tracking new upstream sources, after that. -- \ 學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆。 (To study and not think is a waste. | `\ To think and not study is dangerous.) | _o__) —孔夫子 Confucius (551 BCE – 479 BCE) | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
