Thanks. This release is now packaged for Debian and should enter testing
in a day or two.

Is fgrun still being updated? I didn't find any release tarball, so that
one isn't updated (and actually got removed from testing).

Another thing I'm wondering was that simgear also got a version bump
(for 2016.4.2), but didn't get any bugfixes. The only change was in the
"version" file. That's utterly unnecessary, causes packaging work for no
reason and wastes bandwidth and storage.

I understand that you are releasing simgear, flightgear and
flightgear-data in sync. However, it should be possible to at least do
patch releases for security fixes separately, IMO.

Debian stable won't get newer versions. I'd recommend using Debian
testing for (up-to-date) games, so you won't have to compile yourself.

Kind Regards
