In some way this circumvents Debian's packaging system. On Debian
"stable" releases, software is *expected* not to get updated and I can
imagine that users get annoyed by a message telling about a new upstream
release every time they start the game.

I also believe that updating the software and even informing users about
available software updates should remain the job of the packaging
system.
