Just as a heads up: all three are now available on collab-maint and are
updated to work together to provide FlightGear 2.10:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/simgear.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/flightgear-data.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/flightgear.git

I'm still working on it, but it's worth pointing out a few design
decisions that may be controversial:

 - I moved the scenery data package back into the base one, as it's
   too small to matter (< 10 MiB) and didn't disturb terrasync, either.
 - Split AI data into its own package (ca. 130 MiB)
 - Consistently renamed fgfs to flightgear (package names)
 - Renamed simgear to libsimgear, split to match SONAMES

I'd still like to:

 - Use debhelper 7 for simgear as well. And get rid of the static
   variant of that library in libsimgear-dev. It would simplify rules a
   lot. Anybody opposed to that?

I envision flightgear-data-base to be a package that's sufficient to run
flightgear on. No AI, no object models, only the default c172 aircraft.

(Of course, that currently emits lots of warnings and load errors. I
hope to be able to get rid of those eventually.)
