Debian does not build this variant of wolf4sdl, but g-d-p git master
(which will become v39) knows how to recognise v1.1 and v1.2 files and
flag them as unsupported.

This is Debian's wolf4sdl-wl6a binary. game-data-packager git master
(the future version 39) supports the files found in Stephen Kitt's
copy of the 3D Realms Anthology.

This is Debian's wolf4sdl-wl6 binary. game-data-packager git supports
two variants of this version: the one in Stephen Kitt's id Anthology CD
(which matches your version, and also matches what's shipped on Steam),
and some unspecified other variant that Fabian Greffrath has.

Not supported in Debian. I don't see much point in trying to support
older versions of something where the newer version is freely downloadable.

v1.0 and v1.1 are recognised as unsupported. v1.2 is not (I couldn't
find it).

>  7) Wolfenstein 3D v1.4 shareware

Supported for a long time.

Supported since v38.

According to README.WL1 in the shareware version, CONFIG.WL1 should not
be distributed because it is (was?) created by the game on first-run.
So I have not included this file in the packaging (but its checksums are
in git history if we need them).

This is now implemented, and the file will be included if found.
Stephen, please test this (I can't, I only have the shareware and
Steam versions).
