I checked viruskiller. First on its offical website 
(http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/virusKiller.php) you can find:

"Source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License. Resources are 
Non Free. This game should not be added to Linux distributions or 
respositories."


I compaired viruskiller from its original source and the ubuntu package and the 
music/sound files are identically. Stripping music/sound/gfx and icon folder 
makes this package totally useless. It's just an ui whichs left without any use 
to the user. Also the music/sound/gfx can't be found in the internet as 
single-download, so users had to download the package from it website (see 
first link) unpack it and move those packages. Is this still covered by the 
debian-policy because it would be much trouble for users to make these games 
work.

Best would be to remove the package and let debian know. Afaik also fedora 
contains this package.

But who's the original copyright owner? Maybe we can ask him to free those 
rescources?
