But Debian Games would be the best to maintain it, because (at least I think so) they know what they are doing. Would it be bad to tell the people that they can get the Debian buildscripts from the Debian SVN?

He has to edit the paths in the MSVC project editor.

Well, the debian/ dir doesn't seem to be very maintained and Linas also said that he would not maintain it (if I remember it correctly). --Dennis
