Thanks for the patch!

Why do we need two URIs? Shouldn't the latest release alone be enough?
Isn't that the only release we need to build?

The release tarball does seem to come with tests. Could you package them
as well?

Please put modify-phases and %standard-phases on the same line like:

(modify-phases %standard-phases

I haven't actually tried building the package, but is this phase
necessary? If you do want to change directory before running make, you
can pass "-C" and "source" as #:make-flags.

You should be able to do this using #:make-flags. See

Could you make this "Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is a roguelike adventure
... "? Also, remove the last sentence "The game is also known as ...".

licence.txt mentions multiple licenses. Could you mention them all as a
list of licenses?
