If the name of the package should not be "julius", I guess for avoiding
a collision with RFP #506606, I suggest we use something else than the
main developer nickname to distinguish this package.

Since this is an engine for the video game named "Caesar III", I would
suggest "julius-caesar3" or "julius-engine". On the other hand, since
the other "julius" RFP got no real activity for the last 15 years (and
the given upstream URL seems to be dead), maybe the current one could
take over that name?

By the way, I rely on this game engine through ./play.it [1], so I’m
highly interested in getting it into Debian. That means I plan to turn
this RFP into an ITP in some not-too-distant future, as soon as I can
find the right mix of time and motivation to work on it.

game-data-packager [2] would benefit from it too, as it would allow it
to propose support for Caesar 3, as an alternative to ./play.it.

If there is still no activity on the other "julius" RFP when I start
working on the current one, I plan to take over the name and rename the
other one to "julius-speech" (it is a speech recognition engine).
