I'll give them a spin and write back. Thanks for packaging them!

As far as I understand from reading the original RFP and reading the 
Debian games wiki, the engine itself is completely free (GPL), but 
only the content is non-free (needing the TA CDs). That would make 
taspring go to main, and taspring-data go to contrib? The nanoblob 
total conversion seems to have a GPL/CC dual licence, which would 
justify it to be in main.
