hi,

it would be awesome if you updated the packaging for debian/ubuntu!

I filed bugs last year for debian, ubuntu, maemo... however none of
them have made an updated package.

There are the old maintainer emails listed on the packages, so you may
be able to email those people.  However, it would be cool if you were
the maintainer I think.

Maybe setting pygame up in a ubuntu PPA would help them speed up the
process of getting it in?  Or maybe attaching a patch to the bug
reports would also help.


cya.
