Sorry for the delay, this week was a bit busy, so I wasn't able to
test the build ouput until just now. New packages uploaded.

I actually hoped to have it uploaded 12 hours ago (ie. at the other end
of the workday for me) but the overnight build failed so I had to
fix and restart it.

I don't _need_ help with the packaging, although I'll take any help
offered, but certainly it'd be good to get builds for platforms other
than PowerPC, or etch backport builds, as Reiner has been so kind as to
do so far. I _could_ produce i386 builds as well as PowerPC, but that
machine's somewhat lower spec'd (about 1/2) compared to my laptop, and
it'll be quicker for people who can run the game to build it themselves
from my source package.

I am open to suggestions as to how best to handle the rather frequent
updates to the client. I really need to track the SL developer blog
more closely, so I'm ready to package a new release, but it doesn't
always come at a time convienient for me.

I do try to upload the source as soon as I know the dpatches apply,
but situations like today happen where a change in the upstream build
system cause the build the fail three hours in, and I'm soundly asleep
and unable to tell anyone that this happened.

Maybe team-based packaging's a good idea? If there's anyone who's
keen to help out, with an eye to being part of a team once we get
this stuff into Debian-proper, post here. Someone able to turn around
a package build in less than three hours (for whichever arch) would
prolly come in handy. ^_^

I'd also be interested in workflow suggestions, with the proviso
that I've recently become enamoured of git. ^_^
