Bug#776544: game-data-packager: please add generic support for ScummVm games

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 39
Severity: wishlist
Tags: newcomer

The scummvm engine and 4 free games are already in the Debian archive.

We could add support for the other non-free ScummVm games.

They all lack an icon & .desktop file.

game_data_packager/games/doom_common.py could be used as a reference; because
the problems to fix are very similar.
> Please do not follow this example for newly-supported
> games other than the Doom family

We'd also need to gather some free icons.
