Hello again, It's been a while, and I've been working on the package a little. I finally have most of the package working well, and I'll see if I can get it on Mentors sometime, as I have a long week ahead of me.
Anyway, the main reason I'm writing this is to ask whether the package should be called "the-powder-toy" or simply "powder-toy" (or "powdertoy"?). I'm wondering this because I dropped by the Arch User Repository and saw that the package was indeed called "powder-toy", omitting the "the" (yes, I know Debian isn't dependent on what AUR people do, but it got me thinking). The only reason I've had "the" in the package name is because I took an old packaging of the game from a Launchpad PPA [1] and simply went from there, not giving much thought to the article at the beginning of the name. and I'm not sure what's Debian's policy about articles at the beginning of package names. Thanks in advance!
