No worries. The question about the unfixed security issue in stable was
justified, although it is unrelated to this bug report.

I have asked Debian's release managers for an upload to stable and they
agreed.

https://bugs.debian.org/738662

The package is currently in the proposed-updates queue.

https://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/stable.html

You can test it by following these instructions

https://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates.html

A good place to watch all relevant facts about freeciv is also this site.

http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/freeciv.html

I will create a backport for 2.4.2 as soon as the package migrates to
testing since I think a lot of people will be happy about it.

Have a nice weekend

Markus
