So, how is this supposed to work with e.g. the "doom2-wad" package
created by game-data-packager that calls "Exec=doom
-iwad /usr/share/games/doom/doom2.wad"?

As above, doom2 is supposed to be run with the "doom" executable and the
doom2.wad IWAD file given as an absolute path. Last time I checked,
vavoom was smart enough to figure out it runs DOOM2 (not DOOM) itself,
i.e. without the explicit "-doom2" parameter.
