This is pretty much the same situation with Emacs addons -- it can download them itself now, but we still package plenty of them in the archive. It depends on whether you think it is still valuable to have them in Debian. Are there reasons why someone might prefer to install the version from Debian, or will they always want the latest and greatest upstream version? In the case of Emacs addons, clearly there is value in having a stable set of addon versions available from the archive. Perhaps not with Minetest? -- Sean Whitton
