 Boing! is a small demo based on the famous Amiga-based bouncing ball

OK, thanks for clarifying. I'll just mention it in the README.Debian
in the stella package, along with some pointers to other possible
sources of DFSG-free games.

I'm closing the ITP, there's no point poluting Debian with packages
such as these...

Thanks for your time,

Stephen
