Source: love
Version: 0.9.1-4
Severity: serious

every new mayor release of love, the compatibility are breack with old ..

so installed games in system comes unusable!

in conclusion: love engine in debian are not so used! so packaging
seem are waste of time and resources if are no useless for the users

so then, love must be offered in versioned! so  even a only one
package "love", we must provide "love09" and/or "love10" for love
0.9.X and 0.10.X

It's been many years since LÖVE 0.9.X was released,

and it's already on version 0.10.2, which is not fully compatible with 0.9.x.

so if some user have a game with 0.9 working, and updated, the game
will not work without reason event the user are a expert..

as example, golang are packaged in this way.. versioned!

i'm mading my own work in venenux repository.. maybe need to track those changes
