I happened to look in the dependencies of the package and saw that it depend from sudser. I wonder why it does that, judging from the engines web site it doesn't really need it (and if it needs, rootsh would probably be better choise as it's more popular and sudser removes it). Also libsdl1.3-dev isn't probably needed as a dependency either but as a build-dependency (-dev packages aren't usually needed to anything but building the packages).
