Package: beneath-a-steel-sky
Severity: serious

One man asked me to upload a package into debian which contains a blob
without source. When i denied to upload it he routed an example Your
package (beneath-a-steel-sky), which contains files like sky.cpt which
has no sources and is distributed as binary file.

This situation is DFSG violation (p.2). Also this mediacontent has no
license terms in debian/copyright (only copyright holder is refered).

At least package should be splited into two packages and the first part
should be moved to contrib part of debian, second part must be moved
into non-free three. I haven't found license terms about game content.
If it isn't freeware, it couldn't be placed in non-free, in this case
You can write a script downloading mediacontent when Your package is
installed.
