Hi,

I got the game running & matched it against the Steam version for reference;
stil I may have made a mistake somewhere, I'll check it again.

I replaced the _orig with ?orig; this allow for shorter .yaml files
doing 100% the same thing.

Each project use it's own way, either providing the new .yaml, a
patch, a git repos is fine.

I also gather patches from time to time on my github mirror, you can
send a PR there

This is weird, well, this bug report ended-up in the right place to get fixed.

As Ubuntu & Debian release cycles don't match & Debian is frozen;
a new package with a fix won't be upload to Debian Sid in time
before next Ubuntu get released.

There's a PPA, but I have no idea if anyone really use it:
