Thanks for spotting this. I'll look into whether this can be made
predictable, or failing that, work around it.

lintian can't see across source package boundaries, and OpenArena is
split between several source packages (to avoid uploading hundreds of
megabytes of data for small changes like this!), so it's not surprising
that this wasn't detected.

Noted. This is not severe enough to be a stable update, I'm afraid (but
if the fix is trivial, and openarena needs a stable update for some
other reason, it could perhaps be included).
