  Yes.

  I would suggest starting with a simpler package unless you are
experienced already with creating binary packages (preferably Debian
packages)  Vegastrike is big and mildly hairy.

  Trying to "grab" a program, as you put it, ahead of anyone else -- and
then vanishing for weeks -- is not very good form.  Are you packaging it
or not?  You don't seem to even have acted on applying at nm.debian.org.

  If I don't hear otherwise in a week or so, I will retitle this bug to
an RFP.  (I'd ITP it myself, but I don't have the time)  Someone should
ITP this -- the game has a lot of promise, nice graphics, and is close
to being playable (pity the keyboard controls suck)

  Daniel
