Quack,

While generating maps with minetestmapper I encountered a problem: the 
colors.txt file is not always provided by the game (VoxeLibre does, 
Asuna does not) and when it does there is a long list of unknown blocks 
and I suppose the file has not been kept up-to-date for quite some time. 
Moreover mods may add blocks of their own.

To fix this upstream explains in their README.rst we need use the 
`util/generate_colorstxt.py` script to generate this file. Unfortunately 
it is not currently installed by the package because the cmake rules 
does not take care of it.

It only requires python3-pil. I have tested it on a server on bookworm 
with two maps and it appears to be working.

Would you consider adding it in the package please?

Regards.
