Yes, this sounds reasonable to me, since I assume no one will ever want
to checkout ALL games from alioth.

Lets call DUNNO 'packages' and use layout type 1 for the sake of
simplicity. If we get to the situation that we want to separate
non-free/contrib games out, we can introduce a
'packages-{non-free,contrib} hierarchy as well.

I'm not sure if this is desirable for ALL games, but it is definitely
for boson, since it is too big.

This sounds like a very good idea. How to upload a tarball to that dir?

You mean the optional 'get-orig-source' target [1]? Sounds like a good
idea, too.
