1.5.4 is the current upstream version; see also:
* http://bugs.debian.org/651886
* https://qa.mandriva.com/59249

Here's the fix:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=86699.msg721110#msg721110

The data layout was somewhat broken, I've fixed it like this:
- data/* -> /usr/share/neverball/*
- font -> /usr/share/neverball/ttf/

1.5.4-alt4 binary also works on t6/branch.

neverball-1.5.4-alt4 -> sisyphus:

* Sun May 06 2012 Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux> 1.5.4-alt4
- *fixed* datadir issues (closes: #23162)
- applied fedora patch (a bit more complete than gentoo one)
- minor spec cleanup
