Package: freeciv Version: 2.6.5-1 Noticed on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/freeciv a warning that freeciv depends on two packages which would need a new maintainer. One of these is liblua5.2-dev. That should be easy to fix by updating the dependencies, as freeciv-2.6 uses lua-5.3, not lua-5.2. As you don't have lua-5.3 in dependencies, it might be that no debian packaged lua gets used at all, but it instead falls back to compiling it from an included copy.
On a related note I suspect that the other listed package, gnulib, is not needed as a dependency either. Freeciv distribution should contain all the required .m4 files, and I think you use those anyway (newer serial). I could see the point of using .m4 files from the gnulib package instead, but as things currently stand the abandoned package has more outdated versions than freeciv distribution. - ML
