[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1010251: stellarium: please consider packaging JPL ephemerides

[Liam Stitt]

Package: stellarium
Version: 0.22.1-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: stittl at cuug.ab.ca

Hi. It would be neat someday to have an add-on package that installs
the JPL ephemerides that Stellarium groks per 5.5.3 in the current
user guide, as found under de[34][01]/ at
ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/planets/Linux/

Much like the additional star catalogues, these are of course far
too large to be sensible packaging directly, but a little package
that downloads them would rock.

In any case, thanks for all your great work packaging this over
the years!
