Package: angband
Version: 1:4.2.5+dfsg1-3
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The Exec line in angband's .desktop file uses unescaped characters.
Which most Desktop Environments will catch as an error and not allow you to open the game from their menus.
But it seems they fixed this in commit 3aee474, which is in release 4.2.6.
Thank you,
Sean Day
