And from what I understand in other replies, dpkg does not handle 
dependencies, so I'll have to handle those on my own.  (Which is easy, since 
the game lists dependencies).

Actually, I should have asked this with the question.  The game is Enigma, and 
I found the binaries on mirrors, but the game is listed on the Debian 
website.  It doesn't show up when I apt-cache search enigma.  Is that because 
I'm using stable and it's in testing or unstable?

Thanks!
