you are right, vcmi is a classical case for a game in contrib as its assets (graphics, music, sounds, text) are non-free. That debian/control said it was for "main" is an artifact from when I started packaging it. I developed a tool with which I made it possible to play the game with colorful rectangle graphics instead of the original sprites. Here is the email thread about this: http://lists.debian.org/20140317153554.1302.95390@hoothoot While this makes the game playable, upstream disliked that their engine could be abused in such a way so I stopped doing this. Thus I changed the Section to contrib/games now. Thanks for noticing this! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
