No, I didn't, as the package (and its bugs on the tracker) seemed a bit
abandoned to me. Would you suggest to ask anyways?

The previous version of the package already shipped
/usr/bin/eboard-config. While upstream ships everything in /usr/bin,
they have manpages eboard-config(1), eboard-addtheme(1) and eboard(6),
and I followed this scheme. It also makes sense to me, as eboard-config
and -addtheme are more of utilities than of games.

It is only a recommendation, and it seems that eboard won't start
without the font installed. (Or maybe any font would do?) You probably
want to have a look at bug #149331.

Done.

Done, together with some other simplifications of debian/rules.

Fixed.

Done.

Done.

I have put eboard into Build-Depends-Indep; however, upstream does not
include a copyright notice anywhere. What should I do in this case?
The updated eboard package is on mentors. (extra packs not)
Kind regards,
