Some bugs exist in the BTS. I think we can close them quickly.

Well, Netpanzer is a good game and is stable. The issue #318329 seem to be 
fixed in SVN (according to http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv/panzone-adv.txt )

The developpment is not totaly stopped:
http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/netpanzer/trunk/?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=1

I think we can try to upload a new package based on a svn snapshot.

i impoted scorched3d is in our svn and did some minor changes. A new release 
is ready to be uploaded.

I vote to keep.

Maybe we can add a "Warning popup" during the installation of the game to warn 
the user that the game is know as unstable and that bug against upstream 
problem will be ignore. A message like this could be nice for some other 
packages like fwp or boson (a bit buggy and still in developpment).

Cheers,
