Bug#777468: openarena-server: upgrade failure

[Paul Wise]

Package: openarena-server
Version: 0.8.8-10
Severity: serious
Usertags: postinst

The recent upgrade fails due to an error in postinst, looks like it is
referring to the wrong path, it should be /var/games/openarena-server
instead of /var/games/quake3-server/ in this postinst snippet:

    if [ -d /var/games/openarena-server/.openarena ] && ! [ -e /var/games/openarena-server/server.oa ]; then
        # we use com_homepath to redirect server stuff to a non-hidden
        # directory and be ready for multi-instance; migrate old configuration
        ln -s .openarena /var/games/quake3-server/server.oa
    fi

The next upgrade attempt failed too:
