** Description changed: - Binary package hint: blobwars + Guus Sliepen say: - Blobwars doesn't appear to have any audio.

Since a large part of the + original sound and music lacks any copyright and author information, it is + deemed undistributable by Debian, not even in non-free. Replacement music has + been found and a version of blobwars that contains it might be released in a + few months, sound is next. - Can it then be added as a non-free package? Or at least made clear to - the user why there is no audio and what they can do about it. Perhaps in - the man page. + If you wish to help finding replacement sounds, that would be great.
