package: lintian
version: 2.5.3
severity: normal

According a recent games team meeting log and several freedesktop
documents, games no longer belong in /usr/games.  However, when a
package is updated to put game executables in /usr/bin, the lintian
error package-section-games-but-contains-no-game is asserted.  For
more info, see:

Thanks,
Mike
