Stephen, Thanks for taking a look at the package. I will make the suggested changes to the desktop file and menu icons this weekend. I am still open to Games team maintainership. I committed some of the initial packaging work to a pkg-games git repository, but it needs to be updated and Vcs tags added to the control file. I would be happy to change the maintainer field as well. Regards, Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
