Hi,
I've decided to drop my intention to package OpenTTD. There has been
considerate discussion about the legal status of the game (half of which I
only read recently, because people forgot to CC me or this bug report).
Considering that there is a lot of resistance to packaging OpenTTD for
licensing reasons, I will no longer try to get it into the debian archive.
I will continue to distribute debian packages through upstream distribution
channels, though.
Gr.
Matthijs
