Apparently affects 10.04 LTS also. It's pretty sad that I had to search
the bug list just to figure out why half the textures were not working
and verify that it wasn't a graphics driver/card issue.

There is no excuse for deliberately breaking a package by hiding half of
the files elsewhere, not add any dependencies, not include any notice in
the description, and make trouble for the Celestia developers who get
the blame for something that is not their fault. If Ubuntu could not use
a reasonable licensing policy, then it would have made much more sense
to put the entire Celestia package, UNBROKEN, into the non-free repo, or
to give some kind of conspicuous notice when installing the package.

I don't see how it's remotely reasonable for someone to take significant
time away from other work fixing bugs and such in the distro to go over
*every single file* in some random, relatively obscure package, and
single out *individual* files not to include in the package, without any
regard whatsoever for whether these files are important to the package,
and without making it clear to the users installing the package that
this was done.
