I uploaded 6.0.2 to experimental. However, we have some regressions (in
test cases). Do you care to look? Here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=castle-game-engine&suite=experimental
compared to
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=castle-game-engine&suite=sid
which means armel and armhf.

I just realized that we are probably not shipping the examples. I
believe that is one of the things you take pride in, so probably that
need fixing soon. Did you ever check that the package as shipped by
Debian is behaving as you upstream would expect?

That is more or less what I expected.

The package I uploaded today has a man page generated by me on a Debian
system ;) with a generation target in d/rules. I'll get rid of that next
time, so I appreciate the patch.
