You're welcome :)

I pushed changes to also update debian/watch and repacked the orig
tarball without the font files.

Unfortunately, I found a blocker from uploading the package: The
licensing and copyright information of the game's data is missing in
debian/copyright. I added debian/TODO to document that issue, i.e.,
there's still quite some work ahead to gather the respective copyright
holders and licenses for data files. I picked random samples and it
seems that some graphics files have that information in the image,
while for the audio and music files copyright holders and license is
mostly unclear. Please get in touch with upstream to get this sorted
out!

Cheers,
Bruno
