Is it hard to find a sponsor?Yes, that's precisely my problem; though I have to admit that I found out about the Games Team's git repository very recently; I've just finished adding pysolfc and pysolfc-cardsets to it. But I still don't have any sponsor...

Put RFS: pysolfc (replacement for removed package: pysol) in the subject. See also: http://mentors.debian.net/
When you do, be sure to also add a transitional package called pysol which depends on the new one, to give a good upgrade path.I'd sure do, but don't really know how. Can you give me any hints or pointers?
You create an empty package, containing just the control file. Package: pysol Depends: pysolfc Description: transitional package from pysol to pysolfc Section: oldlibs Package to ease upgrading from older pysol to new pysolfc. This package can be purged once pysolfc has been installed. Also see: http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package -Ariel
