Are there any other changes that you think are necessary for this
package split? Off the top of my head, it looks like 0ad-data-common
will have to Breaks: and Replaces: 0ad-data (<< 0.0.12-1) (that
reminds me of LP #1063499), and that 0ad will have to depend on both
0ad-data and 0ad-data-common. There might be other ways this could
break upgrades that I haven't thought of yet...

Ok, I'll get this done once Alpha 12 is released.
