DATA
----

Maybe texture maps should be separated in another package

Sames goes for star data (currently starplot does this so maybe 
OpenUniverse should use that info). Also notice that it is not
all to clear that the star data file is copyright-ok, it seems
to be derived from the Yale star data catalog based on xephem's
data, but has been hand-edit so I don't really see if this 
qualifies as "modified redistribution" (not allowed for the Yale
star data) or as "derived work".

This type of problems have lead to bugs in many other astronomy packages
including kstars (198499), celestia (#174456),  stellarium
(#198495) and, recently, xephem. For more information please read
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200305/msg02004.html

Notice that spacechart provides a number of scripts (in the data/ dir)
to extract the proper information from the Hipparcos and Gliese, and that
starplot does so too (in the src/convert) for the Gliese and Yale catalogues.

SCREENSHOTS
-----------

- Consider providing a (low?) debconf note to make openuniverse setgid (warning
about the security implications. So that admins do not have to change
the srcshots directory permissions.

- Provide a cli switch to define the directory to dump screen shots to?
