Yes, that was my idea: To package the engine separately, let it provide
an alternative for /usr/games/quake2{,-server} and implement a frontend
to be included in the src:quake package. 

I am currently not sure, however, how a dedicated server is invoked for
quake2. There is a q2ded executable built from yquake2 sources, however.
