Thank you very much! Of course I'd like to have as much as possible of 
these patches in Debian, too.

However, there has allready been a code audit for the 1.0-5 release of 
the rott package in Debian and I guess that we allready ship most of 
the fixes in our patchset that are also in your repository. We should 
compare where our patches overlap. In this regard, it would be nice if 
you could take a short look at our patches and compare them with your 
work.

The Debian package is currently only compiled for the shareware 
version and asks the user if he wants to download the shareware data 
files during the postinst script. If answered "yes" it automatically 
downloads, unzips and installs the files in an appropriate place.

If you like I welcome you as a co-maintainer for the Debian package as 
soon as I have integrated it into the pkg-games SVN.

Nice Greetings,
Fabian
