I admit we have serious trouble wis ball.  Despite we worked heavily on
the build system to get it at least 99% build and sended patches
upstream we did not got any response so far.  While a patch is welcome
thought we have no idea whether we can keep ball inside Debian.

Since ball never hit testing it is probably not relevant for this
problem.

Kind regards
