Many thanks for your work on the package!  It's much appreciated!

Yes, we'll need to create a new tarball.

Oh, and I got some courses on my machine at home containing some courses
which we can add. So we need to repack the tarball anyway.  But I would
propose, that I try to upload the new courses I have at home soonish, so
we need to this only one time.

Once the package has been uploaded and made it through the NEW queue, we
should also change the extremetuxracer package, so that it recommends
the extra package again.

Maybe we should also tweak the package description; I'm not sure if the
numbers are still correct and the startup time isn't a big problem any
more these days, is it?
