Bug#754552: New minetest 0.4.10 released (lots of improvements and bugfixes), please update Debian packages and add minetest-mod-mobf, minetest-mod-mesecons to Suggests or Recommends

Sat Jul 12 10:37:46 UTC 2014

Package: minetest
Version: 0.4.9+repack-6

Minetest package is outdated in Debian - new minetest 0.4.10 released on 
July 6, 2014 - this release contains lots of improvements and bugfixes, 
see changelog below.

It would be nice if you use rev c9ba92c4ad (or a2e1b0fc7f) for packaging - 
there were some bugfixes just after 0.4.10 release, see:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commits/master

Also please add minetest-mod-mobf and minetest-mod-mesecons to Suggests or 
Recommends - both mods are very important, packaging code is already on debian
git, see git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/minetest-mod-mesecons.git
It seems there is only one improvement is needed for minetest-mod-mesecons - 
include textures by default, Dominik George <nik at naturalnet.de> tried to 
include textures, but without sucess :(
minetest-mod-mobf packages works fine (I already uploaded minetest-mod-mobf to
Ubuntu PPA, see https://code.launchpad.net/~baltix/+recipe/minetest-modpack-mobf-debian ), 
it would be nice to see minetest-mod-mobf in Debian, you promised :)
