Instead?  No, these are different games.  I'd suggest to depend from
freeciv-client-gtk instead.

Well, the Ignore field is explained at

   http://people.debian.org/~tille/cdd/ch-sentinel.en.html

It is used by the Debian Edu project to set a flag about things which
are interesting but need some further decision.  I added these two
because I think they definitely belong to the task but wanted to leave
you the final decision.  Feel free to turn this into Recommends / Suggests
whatever you feel apropriate.

Well, I think the best idea is

    Recommends: lincity-ng | lincity

IMHO lincity-ng is the better free clone (as long as the official freed
sources are not ported to Debian).

I do not know this game - just add it to the list of dependencies ...

Sure.  It was just a mistake and it's fixed in SVN now.

Kind regards
