Bug#788057: game-data-packager: please add support for Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike

So,

What should be the package names & install path ?
I would go with
*) blakestone-data : usr/share/games/blakestone
*) planetstrike-data : usr/share/games/planetstrike



I have _two_ slightly different versions of "Blake Stone : Aliens of
Gold" both from Steam(*)
with different MAPTEMP, VGAGRAPH, VGAHEAD, VSWAP.

Can you map this to version numbers ?
(maybe just having a look at title screen is enough)

I guess we need to support both, and the shareware version too;
if ECWolf plans to support it too.

I wish I could find needed info there:
 http://maniacsvault.net/ecwolf/wiki/Game_data

-> does this also means ECWolf only support the Wolf3D v1.4 shipped on
Steam (!?)
but not others v1.4 &v1.2 versions ?

---------------------------

(*) This shouldn't be possible, because Steam upgrade software automatically,
but I had tricked the Linux version to download the Windows package (
see #775365 ).
It seems that when doing this, Steam gets confused and never upgrade the package
(so we'd better of download to /tmp ) ....
