Hi,

I got tired of typing "spear-of-destiny", so I added basic bash
completion (please pull):

https://github.com/a-detiste/game-data-packager/commit/654450e07177f3f631564bfae6dd4f02d0862be3

It can be fluffed up further when #691772 is done.

wolf3d-data-wl1 has been in production for a long time;
renaming it would mean some transition & messing with Provides /
Conflicts / Replace ...
and co-ordination with wolf4sdl.

I guess wolf4sdl could also be adapted to search for files in
/usr/share/games/spear-of-destiny too.
(add check for files before changing screen resolution :-) )
