Hi, thank you for trying to package Augustus here! I'm a huge fan of the mod! Personal opinion: perhaps augustus-game would suffice. If I do apt search augustus now: augustus/oldstable 3.5.0+dfsg-2 arm64 gene prediction in eukaryotic genomes augustus-data/oldstable 3.5.0+dfsg-2 all data files for AUGUSTUS augustus-doc/oldstable 3.5.0+dfsg-2 all documentation files for AUGUSTUS Perhaps augustus-game and a clear description along the lines of: "Caesar III game free software re-implementation" would make this O.K. I'd shy away from using 'Caesar' in the name due to that being copyrighted. Let me know if I can help with packaging somewhat.
