Package: supertuxkart
Version: 0.0.0.1-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Games Team,

There is a circular dependency between supertuxkart and supertuxkart-data:

supertuxkart 	  :Depends: supertuxkart-data (= 0.0.0.1-1)
supertuxkart-data :Depends: supertuxkart (= 0.0.0.1-1)

Circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade,
so we should try to get rid of them.

Since supertuxkart-data is a data package, it is quite likely it does
not need actually to depend on supertuxkart and removing this dependency
would remove the circular dependency, so I would suggest you do so.
