yeeeeeaaaaah! worms revival! this seems damn addictive!

i found two little glitches while running through the debian directory:
debian/copyright doesn't say anything about the year(s) of the copyright
debian/changelog seems to have some parsing (?) errors

is the game data (gfx/sfx/...) also covered by the gpl?
