That's what I said before, don't split up the packages. Put it as a single package
all in non-free, not built from source, using the binaries supplied by me. As
you can see in the readme which you didn't read, the public source code has a
different protocol than the binaries, for cheat protection reasons. If you allow
Cube to be built from source, you cause me to have to answer 100s of "why
can't I connect to servers" emails. If the above is not to your liking, then please
don't include Cube in debian at all.

Thanks,
