Hallo Phil,

Thanks for preparing an update for pingus.

Your changes are ok, however I have some remarks regarding the
procedures.

- you noted in the RFS that this should be an NMU.
  However:
  -> The Debian version of the package is not denoting a NMU version
  -> The rules for an NMU are strict what you can change and what not.
     For example, a NMU must fix bugs, so the bumping of the 
     Standards version would be out of scope for an NMU as well
     as the Vcs-* update (if for the latter a bug would have been   
     filed, this change would be ok as well.)
  (please read up the NMU section on the developers reference for more
details [devref])

However, it happens that I am a games team member, so we can fix that
by converting the NMU to an team upload. If that is ok for you, just 
change it to an "Team upload", reupload the package to mentors, ping me
and I will do the upload for you. 
(please also create an MR on salsa afterwards, so that we can easily
merge your changes into the repository...)
