The package is broken for most people because it uses /bin/bash in its pre/post install/remove scripts, and the N900 only has /bin/sh by default. As a workaround, you can 'apt-get install bash' from a root shell, then the packages will install/uninstall correctly.
Unfortunately, you then find that because its only a basic port, many game screens are too tall to fit on the screen with the title bar, and you can't put it in full screen. Needs more work...

Thank you, Robot101... that seems to be why. The rest of what you said is also accurate. Full screen mode is possible though unintuitive, but makes hitting the options screen impossible -- trying launches the WM window selector instead. Similarly, all the unclosable dialogs I've encountered so far can be closed -- but only by, say, hitting the options screen button (just tapping off the dialog moves the map in the background.)
It needs a lot more work, and I am not sure I have the know-how to do it. Very sorry to everyone who tried the packages and had their systems break... I tried locally, again, in scratchbox and on my device, but since the first think I do is always to install bash and make it my defualt shell, I never even thought to test it sans-bash. Anyway, I just committed a repackaged version that uses sh instead, but I'm not sure if that will be enough to fix mtjioe and markusm's issues or anyone who managed to install in it spite of that, but without bash.

sudo gainroot
apt-get -f install
... or if it doesn't...
sudo gainroot
cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
mv freeciv-*post* /tmp
apt-get remove freeciv-client-sdl freeciv-data freeciv-server
... but it might not, too, and might break things more. (Not a confident disclaimer, but I'd seriously wait for someone else who knows more about debian packaging to chime in.)

And/or a fullscreen toggle button in the bottom right, but the old always fullscreen behavior with a task switcher button would be a much easier way to work around the too-tall dialogs issue.

The fix to allow uninstalling it with apt-get would be to 'sudo gainroot' then edit (I used vi, but I don't know what other editors there are) /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeciv-*.p* and change each #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh - then the pre/postrm scripts can run properly.
