        Hi!

 Trying to take this to debian-devel-games list, Cc just left for that
people are aware.

 Alright, received all the requited things, but there is a question that
I like to ask about the setup of the git repository: Why the heck is it
done in this absolute ... well, "uncomfortable" way? Why is it a
completely seperate git repository and *not* a clone from the upstream
git repository? Can we _pretty please_ can get that fixed? I always
thought git was meant to be used in a way so that it's convenient and
easy to pull in changes from upstream, but this setup totally astonishes
me.

 Can this pretty be changed for the future? I will try to workaround
this IMHO illness in the setup for the required update to get it in
shape for the release, but it would be more than just nice if we can
use git the way it's meant to be used for the future.

 So long,
Rhonda
