Package: netpanzer
Version: 0.8+svn20060319-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Please provide a package with debugging symbols. Currently, it's more or
less impossible to even start looking for the places in the code where
errors happen. A debug package would at least make it possible to say
where the game has crashed.

I'm attaching a quick patch to create netpanzer-dbg. Please consider
applying it -- and sorry if I've forgotten something.

Thanks,
