Hi, sorry for not replying sooner, I was intending to. If you still need
a sponsor, then I am happy to do so.

A couple of points from reading the packaging:

   you should mention yourself in debian/copyright and the licence under
   which your packaging is released and you should include the year on
   both copyright statements.

   you should remove commented debhelper lines which you aren't using.

There are some warnings in the build which you should look at at some
point:

   dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/briquolo/usr/games/briquolo shouldn't
   be linked with libfreetype.so.6 (it uses none of its symbols).
   dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/briquolo/usr/games/briquolo shouldn't
   be linked with libz.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols)

Other than that it looks in pretty good shape, and I'd be happy to
sponsor it.

In terms of adding it to SVN, you should keep the packaging in some sort
of revision control system, the debian games team SVN is as good as any,
particularly if you would like to include it as a team maintained
package.

Matt
