Thanks, I already implemented some of those improvements myself, but will add the rest as well. I did try to upload celestia to Debian unstable a while ago, but was blocked by the ftpmasters because of possible copyright issues. I think I clarified the debian/copyright file a lot, and will upload it again soon, if it is blocked again then it may have to go into non-free. If anyone is interested in the discussion I had with the ftpmaster, I can forward you the emails. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
