Does this mean I will be able to build Galaxie from Debian Unstable? :-) > Galaxie also has also had a major overhaul of it's connection > infrastructure to start to deal with multiple server connections.

I'm not sure if any game currently would benefit from that sort of cheating, but I'm sure it will be helpful (for the AI, not the human players against it). > Additional work to support TP04 features needs to be done - for instance > proper media support.
