That makes sense. I can change the package. As for getting the images from upstream, the author sent high resolution copies to me, I'll see if he's interested in hosting those on his site.

I'll take a closer look ad palapeli and xjig. Can you be more specific re 'ugly Java implementation'?

Thanks,

Those photos are nice but they will be better packaged as standalone package
and taken directly from developer's web site (photos.jstechs.com) rather than
from libre-jigsaw upstream who already re-distributing the images.

Standalone source package for images will be beneficial for outher puzzle
games, useful as source of background images etc.

Package name shall have no "libre" or "jigsaw" in name but perhaps something
like "js-nature-photos".

Regarding libre-jigsaw application IMHO it's no match to "palapeli" or "xjig"
packages (`apt-cache search jigsaw` will give more hints to jigsaw puzzles in
Debian) not to mention ugly Java implementation.

Packaging images however makes a lot of sense.

Thanks.
