I'm the maintainer of tipptrainer. It is in fact no game but just
educational software. Unfortunately Debian is missing an apropriate
section. I would definitely vote for a policy change to add a section
which should be^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hhas to be created.
I guess to tuxtype and some other packages might apply the same.

It would be crazy if we would be able to move non-US to official Debian
distribution and have to create a non-CHILDS instead because of stupid
German laws.
Kind regards
