Bug#944757: endless-sky: please package Endless Sky 0.9.10

Good day Michael, Job, Damyan, and the Debian games team,

I think we may have a person or two familiar with Debian. I will bring this
up with the community and see if we're can find someone interested in doing
this.

I know this has come up before, and we weren't sure how to proceed, so I
think we should be able to.

Thank you,

Zitchas
