À Alexandre, Andreas

Dear Alexandre,

Thanks a lot for upgrading Pushover to Domino-Chain in Debian, your
work is highly appreciated!  We'll also have a closer look at your
Debian patches, as these appear to contain valuable improvements for
our upstream version as well.

One minor thing, though ...

Would you mind upgrading the package description as well?  It seems
that the current description is almost the same as in the old pushover
package:

   https://packages.debian.org/stable/games/domino-chain

This description is pretty outdated, e.g. we no longer have 10 domino
types, etc.

I'd propose to take just the improved summary line and description
that we also provided on the website and manpage,

   https://domino-chain.gitlab.io/

that is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rearrange dominoes on different platforms to start a chain reaction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Domino-Chain is a puzzle game where you have to rearrange dominoes on
different platforms to start a chain reaction that makes all dominoes
topple over. There are many strange types of dominoes, such as the
Ascender which will rise to the ceiling when pushed, or the Exploder
which will blast a hole into the platform it stands on.

Domino-Chain is a faithful reincarnation of the game Pushover
originally published by Ocean in 1992. Compared to Pushover,
Domino-Chain has some new levels, some additional domino types, better
graphics in higher resolution and high-quality music. On top of that,
you can load and play the original levels from Pushover if you have a
copy of it.
