Bug#200178: Possible ITP, but your package has problems



Hi,

I'd be happy to package Pathological for Debian (I enjoy the game very
much), however, the package you have available on your site is for
woody. The structure of the pygame packages has changed, and the correct
dependency is on python2.2-pygame (or python-pygame) now.

Since I understand your desire to keep the package working for woody,
would you mind moving the debian/ directory in the upstream source to
(for example) debian-woody/ ? Then the diff.gz will have debian/, and it
can contain the modern packaging information.

(In general, keeping a debian/ directory in the upstream source is
considered a bad idea; it means that every time a bug is found in the
packaging, or policy changes, you need to make a new upstream release.)
