Hello,

Thank you for your contribution and work on this package.

Its name is close to that of another game, "pioneers". Just bringing this
up as a potential point of friction.

Possible alternative names:

pioneer-space-sim
pioneer-space

I don't know how many package names in the archive differ by just the
"number" of the noun - that is, its singular or plural forms.

Thanks,

Hi Matt,
Yes good point. For what it's worth, Fedora packages both `pioneers`
and `pioneer` without the name change, but an alternative name here in
Debian is possible if that's what's decided.
