Yeah, Pete got it right. :) Though I'd rather the debian build of the
next release didn't contain X11 just because then the game will be Free
Software and thus be able to sit happily in main. The bit that isn't
free software is the BMP im****ter; to fix this, someone would have to
write a PNG loader replacement using libpng. (Volunteers always welcome!)
