Hi,

as the fellow Debian user I am very happy that things will get
merged. In the meantime (for the adventurous) I have put my version on

http://www.mathematik.uni-dortmund.de/lsix/geyer/gnuchess

Please view those sources as a snapshot, at the moment I always put my
most recent version there if it survived some minimal testing. If you
like to hunt bugs, just grab them and start to test. If you rather
prefer something stable, wait for Simon's version, as mine definitely
still has the bug of generating incorrect moves in lost positions, and
maybe several more. (It also likes to lose on time, at least when I
had it playing crafty via xboard.)

Cheers,
Lukas
