Yes, but in the 0.8 release the doom.wad of Freedoom had a bug that made
it impossible to play certain PWADs with it (the texture directory
wasn't correctly split into TEXTURE1 and TEXTURE2 lumps):

https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom/issues/1

This has been fixed upstream and thus the WAD file will be included in
the next release, both upstream and in Debian.

Upstream has renamed them to freedoom1.wad and freedoom2.wad and the
Debian package will of course follow this name change.

I'll take care of that.

freedoom depend on a suitable game engine. Else you could install the
"freedoom" package and would still not be able to actually play
Freedoom.

That sounds interesting, what kind of port is that? ;)
