It for sure would be great!

Since it is under a free license but requires non-free data to run properly
(the original game data), it should go into contrib.

My only question before you spend time on it is: Does it actually work?

If the engine is still in a too early state to run the game, it might be a bit
too early to include it in Debian. Especially as it seems the repository has
not been active recently, so we can not be sure if it is still actively
developed.

PS: No need to CC: me for mails to the debian-devel-games list, I’m subscribed
to it already ;)
