Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openttd

OpenTTD released version 1.0.0 a week ago. Due to Debian's ries.d.o
being down, the package only entered unstable a few days ago, though.

I'm asking for a Freeze Exception for the following reasons:

 - OpenTTD 1.0.x is the first version to be completely DFSG-free. A community 
of artists have created a new graphic set from scratch and the game engine can 
now be used without depending on the original, non-free data. This would allow 
to move the package from multiverse to universe in Ubuntu.
 - This is a network game. The new upstream version is already widely used in 
most multiplayer servers, and the current version in lucid isn't 
protocol-compatible with the new branch.
 - The package fixes most of the currently open Ubuntu bugs.
 - The new code has been through a very delicate polishing process: several 
beta versions, and three release candidates. No important issues are known.
