in this case,
the bug was already reported some years ago by an other debian people ;-)

we added 2 parameters to the xmoto binary to be able to create/extract the
xmoto.bin file
and the man said it was ok. I hope it is still ok for you.

    --pack [BIN] [DIR]
        Build the BIN package from directory DIR.
    --unpack [BIN] [DIR] [no_list]
        Unpack the BIN package into the dir DIR.
