Cool.

wasn't added until 1.6.0pre4. Since that is what interests me most with
pvpgn right now, it'd be cool if you could apply the pre4 updates to
your package so I can help test it.

I would like to participate. I should have a bit more time to help out
now than I have had in the past couple of months. I suspect you are a
more proficient packager than I, but I may be able to help with some
things.
BTW does anyone know of any issues of data-file compatibility between
different versions of pvpgn? One of the best things I liked about
Debian is its robustness with upgrades, so if there are
incompatibilities, then we should have the maintainer scripts
automatically upgrade or downgrade any data files as needed. If data
file formats are changed frequently, we may want to keep seperate pvpgn
and pvpgn-devel packages. If we could have scripts to upgrade bnetd
data files to pvpgn, that would be even better.
Also, I'm curious as to the level of support you are looking to
providing for SQL-database storage setups.

For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.
