I agree that the package in experimental should get removed as well.

Upstream is dead for years and the package FTBFS. If people would ever
want to continue working on it they can find the current state in GIT or
in the snapshots archive. It does not make sense to keep it in Debian in
its current state.

Furthermore, the Games team keeps receiving bug reports for it that
noone will care about, e.g. #765825.

Thanks,

Fabian
