Dear Maintainer,

Forwarding the Ubuntu bug for visibility.

The description, from Chris Peterson, follows:

alex4-data is currently listed as an NBS due to changes in alex4 v1.1-10, which 
drops alex4-data as as a build target but leaves alex4-data as a potential 
Depends. I've read through (Debian Bug) #1035043 but it is still unclear to me 
(1) the intended fate of alex4-data and (2) if it can be fully replaced by 
game-data-packager.

It appears that alex4-data on Debian is just an old version of alex4 which 
builds it. My assumption is that the answer to (2) is yes, and 
game-data-packager is meant to fully replace alex4-data. In this case my 
suggestion is to drop alex4-data from Depends (patch to follow this post).

I will note that these changes were only from a few days ago, so perhaps I'm 
jumping the gun.
