Package: hex-a-hop
Version: 0.0.20070315-1
Severity: normal

I "backported" your game to Etch and like it quite a bit. However, 
the game somehow wants to access my CD-ROM drive, resulting in 
(/var/log/messages):
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: hda: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: ATAPI device hda:
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel:   Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel:   "42 02 40 01 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: hda: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel: ATAPI device hda:
Aug  4 17:39:25 remaxp kernel:   Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)

Since it is running as normal user, this should cause no harm, but
nevertheless the game should not even attempt to read from CD ROM[1] (or
this should be configurable). At least a warning on the shell should
be printed.

The CD ROM is usually not mounted.

[1] As most Debian users won't have the appropriate CD ROM and the man
    page does not talk about a CD ROM at all, nor does any documentation
    in /usr/share/doc/hex-a-hop

P.S. This is exactly the same as in #432015, so this might be caused by a 
     dependency, please reassing where appropriate
