Thanks!  It's actually in Subversion, too, in the jessie-freeze branch.

Yes, I do - and since this bug has priority "important", it can only
be unblocked if it is uploaded to unstable before December 5th.

BTW, if you have a minute, could you also look at #770055, #770056,
#770057 and #770059?  It's exactly the same problem in four other
pkg-games packages.

G'luck,
Peter
