No, I didn't, as the package (and its bugs on the tracker) seemed a bit abandoned to me. Would you suggest to ask anyways? > > eboard - A GTK+ chessboard program > > Why did you move eboard-addtheme to /usr/bin? This seems to require a > lintian override and no real benefit, isn't it? The previous version of the package already shipped /usr/bin/eboard-config. While upstream ships everything in /usr/bin, they have manpages eboard-config(1), eboard-addtheme(1) and eboard(6), and I followed this scheme. It also makes sense to me, as eboard-config and -addtheme are more of utilities than of games. > This is a bit odd to have a package depends on xfonts-75dpi.

What should I do in this case? The updated eboard package is on mentors. (extra packs not) Kind regards, Patrik
