Package: lgeneral Version: 1.1.1-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi, In its current state LGeneral is unusable for almost all users. * The version shipped with Debian was released in 2004 and is completely outdated despite the fact that upstream is active and released version 1.2.3 in April 2012. * The converter lgc-pg, which is needed to convert game data of Panzer General was removed in 2011. [1] This means there is no available game data for LGeneral in Testing at the moment. I intend to adopt LGeneral on behalf of the Debian Games Team [2] and would like to reintroduce lgc-pg in combination with the game-data-packager. I'm working on a new version of LGeneral 1.2.3 at the moment. If the new version cannot migrate to Testing, then LGeneral should be removed from Wheezy. I have also introduced the issue on the debian-devel-games mailinglist.
