Yes, we have the motu-games team.

Sorry, we can't package cube, since it's not redistributable. See [1] (and 
followups) for details.

Bruno has already done some packaging for nexuiz, but these packages won't 
make it into dapper, unfortunately (due to FeatureFreeze). Good news is, that 
we'll have them in dapper+1, since Bruno is working within the debian-games 
team on it.
