Bug#807712: freecol: Please package the latest upstream release 0.11.6

[Markus Koschany]

Package: freecol
Version: 0.10.7+dfsg-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I am willing to package the latest upstream release of Freecol but I
would like to make some packaging changes to ensure that future
updates will be simpler to maintain.

I suggest to change the build system from cdbs to dh because the
latter is usually faster, it provides a more sophisticated way to
override certain build steps and most people who are new to Debian will be
more familiar with dh than with cdbs.

I will also try to simplify the current packaging in general and try
to remove the "new-upstream" file for example.

If nobody has any objections within the next two weeks, I will go
ahead with the update.

Regards,

Markus
