[Johey Shmit]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 29
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

trying to package heretic leads to the following error:

johey at sid:~/work$ DEBUG=1 game-data-packager -n -d . heretic heretic.wad 
DEBUG: INSTALL=no

I think the error is in /usr/share/games/game-data-packager/heretic-wad_29_all.deb:

The last directory should be ./usr/share/games/doom/ or slipstream() in
game-data-packager-shared needs to be changed.

But I think heretic.wad belongs into the ./usr/share/games/doom/ folder.
Game engines like zdoom can search that folder for known iwads.

Or should we maybe expand the engines to search in multiple folders?
