thank you very much for that bug report. I have to admit, I have already
seen this before in the course of preparing an NMU for vavoom but forgot
to file a bug report. The severity is IMHO appropriate, because the game
simply fails to start. My attempts to debug the issue were also without
success.

This and the fact that Vavoom upstream is actually dead and has its
homepage removed lead me to the conclusion that it is maybe better to
entirely remove vavoom from Debian before the next stable release.

Any objections?
