Package: mazeofgalious
Version: 0.62-1
Severity: serious
Justification: violates section "2.3 Copyright considerations" of the debian 
policy

The first thing the game does after being started is to display a spash
screen with the Konami name and logo:

    /usr/share/games/mazeofgalious/graphics/naramura/konami.pcx

After that the main screen apears claiming that the game is from konami:

    /usr/share/games/mazeofgalious/graphics/naramura/start.pcx

Debian is not Konami and Debian has not been given permission by Konami
to use their name and logo.

I want to point out, that the current maintainer has been informed at the ITP 
[0]
that it might not be a good idea to package the game. It's not clear why
it is necessary to push it, by verbosely including Konami's trademarks
in the package. In case this happened consciously it is unclear how the
maintainer is able to do this and at the same time be aware of Debian's
most basic principles.
