Bug#447082: prboom: dependency on doom-wad (doom-wad-shareware | freedoom)

[Brad Hermanson]

Package: prboom
Version: 2:2.4.6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Prboom depends on doom-wad, which can be resolved by installing 
doom-wad-shareware or freedoom. I think it should only be recommended, 
since if someone has the original WAD game files, neither of the above 
packages are required for prboom to work. By default it installs 
freedoom, which I don't think the majority of people installing prboom 
want (unless they specifically specify freedoom or don't have the 
original game, in which case they should just install doom-wad-shareware 
separately). The other doom clients (namely lxdoom-x11 and lxdoom-svga) 
don't require doom-wad, so I see no reason for prboom to.
