Matthew,

If you can help fix some of the issues, I'm happy to integrate them into 
the packaging.  The biggest issue right now is going to be the non-free 
data (music and images).

And apt-get source starfighter should work unless you are running 
testing, because it isn't in testing at the moment because of the RC 
bug.  You can get it from unstable.

Thanks,
