games unsuitable for children

[Javier Candeira]

Package description and/or debtags.

Weblogs are not good, for people can get the packages on disk, and not read
internet weblogs.

Messages at start are iffy, for the role of a packager is not to be a
prescritptor for morals.

Package descriptions and notes in the documentation are a good measure so
responsible parents can be informed about what they are giving their kids.

As to the classification, we could look at the industry self-ratings, and
follow the most objective one we find (blood/no blood, nudity/no nudity are
not moral issues, but factual) publicising which one we are following.
