Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:quakespasm

Please unblock package quakespasm

[ Reason ]
Fix #1032276

[ Impact ]
If not fixed, when the quake-server package is installed and quakespasm is
the selected alternative for quake-engine-server, the quake-server systemd
service spams the system log with rapid "Console input too long" messages.

[ Tests ]
Manual test: can configure /etc/alternatives/quake-engine-server =
/usr/games/quakespasm, systemctl restart quake-server.service, and connect
a client with `quake --engine=quakespasm '+connect 127.0.0.1'`. With the
version in bookworm, "Console input too long" messages appear until the
server is stopped. With the proposed version, those messages do not appear.

[ Risks ]
Low risk: almost a leaf package (one of multiple options for contrib
packages quake and quake-server), the patch is simple, and its small user
base is indicated by the fact that it has taken this long for anyone to
notice that the bug existed.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
