Ah yes, that's right. Since prboom updates so infrequently, I guess
that code has not been exercised in years. I should probably adapt it
into a "get-orig-source" debian/rules rule. Actually we should probably
rebuild prboom.wad upon every package build, just to make sure the code
doesn't rot further.

That's right - no, no problem. Looks much better, thanks!
