Q 02 Why is sposkpat made on Debian Squeeze, and not on Debian Wheezy or Sid?
A 02 kpat on Squeeze has the option to select the backside image of the cards. This option has been removed on Wheezy/Sid, sadly.
sposkpat uses the beautiful Ancient Egytptians Dark background for the cards.
Debian Stretch has the selecting enabled again, but the nicest backside is no longer available.
