Hi Alexandre,

excellent!

Providing estimations is difficult, because everything in the Debian
Games Team happens in our spare time. For updating the currentl
opensurge package, the effort depends on checking and documenting
copyright holders and licenses of added or changed game data.

With respect to the source code, dependencies are critical: If
opensurge requires later releases of its dependenceis than those
currently packaged it will be too late to update them after 12.1.,
because that's the date of transition freeze.

To sum things up: The smaller the difference between the releases, the
less effort it takes to get it integrated.

Cheers,
Bruno
