thanks :)

i commtted a new version a few seconds ago, which also fixes my
messed-up file permissions... i hope these were the only ones!

in the commit i removed the team arena shortcuts, because i think this
would cause bug-reports from users, complaining about broken shortcuts
in their desktop menus. i created several packages of quake3 mods, in
which i included the .menu/.desktop files to properly call ioquake3
+fs_game "foo-mod".

also i renamed the package to ioquake3 (because the binaries are named
that way, and as it's no longer the "original quake3", but a engine
"derived from the quake3 engine and still capable to operate on the
original quake3 data files"). i hope you are with me in that point, i
don't intend to cause a religious war! ;) but ioquake3-common still
depends on quake3-data - i think the quake3-data package should not be
renamed as it directly deals with the original data files. this way
users could build and install their own quake3 clients depending on
quake3-data and without conflicting with the ioquake3 package.

there are still some outstanding issues. ioquake3-server may compile and
run on more architectures than ioquake3, so i'd like to split up
debian/rules and add more architectures to debian/control for
ioquake3-server.
as i just moved marc's preinst notification to ioquake3-common without
changing the text, this should be reviewed. atm i don't know if the text
still fits to the package - while testing i always just pressed enter
without really reading it ;) correcting these things will have to wait
until tomorrow - im too tired to do anything useful, and it's really
late already...

cheers, fuddl
