Bug#783707: doomsday: please install in /usr/share/games/doomsday & /usr/lib/games/doomsday

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: doomsday
Version: 1.10.4-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Please place game data with other game data.

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html

"The following directories ... must be in /usr/share ...
games   Static data files for /usr/games"

"Similarly, a /usr/lib/games hierarchy may be used in addition
to the /usr/share/games hierarchy if the distributor wishes
to place some game data there."


Some users want to put /usr/share/games on a separate file-system
and some even goes as far as un-mounting it during business hours.


This is not a real patch, but the change _seems_ trivial.
