Package: pushover
Version: 0.0.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1, 2.2.1
Pushover uses the graphics from the original game; the upstream site
explicitly says "The original graphics have been converted and
included.". I see no information anywhere in the package suggesting
that the original game became Free Software, nor can I find any such
information online; neither can I find any information about these
graphics in the debian/copyright file. It seems likely that the author
simply converted the proprietary graphics from the original game without
regard to license.
The upstream site suggests that the author plans to replace the graphics
eventually, and that "Replacement graphics for the dominos exist.".
However, until Free Software replacement graphics do exist, pushover
cannot go in Debian, even in non-free.
I think the sounds may come from the original game as well.
If indeed the original game *has* become Free Software, then my
apologies for the misunderstanding and RC bug; in that event please
consider this bug simply a request for a clearer debian/copyright file,
giving the author and license for the graphics and sounds separate from
that of the new, Free Software game engine.
You and/or upstream might have some luck adapting the graphics and
sounds from magicor. It includes a 2D penguin walking around, kicking
blocks, and jumping up and down when successfully completing a level.
Not that the Free Software game world needs yet another game with a
penguin protagonist, but better that than no game at all.

The package was removed due the non-free original graphics. These bugs can
be re-opened once the graphics are replaced by upstream. See #544419
