Bug#567911: upgrading hex-a-hop in Debian

Hi,

We've had a request[1] to upgrade hex-a-hop in Debian to your version
but it was noticed[2] that it unfortunately contains some non-free
parts. It would be great if you could split the non-free parts out into
a separate tarball so the main source tarball can be included in Debian.
All the audio with nonfree in the file name looks non-free to me.

Also, data/font.ttf doesn't need to be shipped in the hex-a-hop source
code since we have it available in the ttf-liberation package.

Also, it would be good if the data files in the source package were
shipped in a standard format like bmp, png or similar instead of dat.
The build process could then convert them to dat. Or the game could be
adapted to load data from standard formats using libpng or similar.

Also, could you enable the bug tracker on the sf.net project so that we
can send you bug reports from users? In case you are interested in
fixing some bugs or applying some patches, there are some filed and
applied in Debian[3], Ubuntu[4], NetBSD[5] and FreeBSD[6].
