Bug#789882: doomsday-compat doesn't handle heretic & hexen alternatives

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: doomsday
Version: 1.14.5-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

doomsday-compat is registered as alternative for
/usr/games/heretic & /usr/games/hexen; still,
when running these commands, Doomsday is is started in Ring-0 mode.

doomsday-compat needs to check the value of "$(basename $0)"
and pick the game mode accordingly;
if nothing match, it should default to doom2 mode.

Here is a list of applicables modes copied
from man page:
heretic-share    Shareware Heretic
heretic          Registered Heretic
heretic-ext      Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders
hexen            Hexen v1.1
hexen-dk         Hexen: Death Kings of Dark Citadel
hexen-demo       The 4-level Hexen Demo

I can provide a patch, but this would obviously
conflict with the one linked to #787985.
