monster-masher is a complete game, so there was probably no interest to continue working on it. We are aware of the removal of obsolete libraries and intend to request their removal from Debian sometime between now and the next Debian freeze. Personally I wanted to give people more time to fix those bugs because they tend to notice such bugs rather late and porting software to new libraries is a non-trivial task. We could fix one game so far thanks to Juhanni (pegsolitaire). I don't have any objections if you want to remove them right now but I think you can achieve the removal of esound/Gnome2 libs anyway and you don't have to wait for us. Just point the ftp team to this bug report. This is true for all affected games maintained by the games team. They will be broken in unstable but I think this might even raise more awareness. Testing users won't be affected. Regards, Markus
