Here they are, including some i've filed in the past: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=libreplanet;[email protected] > Regarding style: > - afio -> Afio was part of my "packages names -> software names" plan > [A]. Ah, I see. sorry about reverting that then.

Guess this is not a problem for free distributions. Not sure what to add to the wiki page though. it may be a debian change to free it up a bit, or it may be an upstream change in how the db is made. > > [6] is about the fonts lucida, but there are no references. could > > someone provide them please? > > > > Metapackages section i skipped, something to look through for > > another day. > > > > I note teeworlds is still on the list.
