The packages produced by game-data-packager cannot be in the repository
in any case. Data is managed by game-data-packager either because it is
not intended to be redistributed at all (full games like Quake II and
their paid-for expansions), or because it is intended to be distributed
without payment, but the actual copyright license is too demanding or
too ambiguous to be safe to upload to non-free (most of the patches,
demos, shareware, etc.).

So the number of packages in the Debian archive is not relevant here,
only the number of packages on g-d-p users' computers.
