I have no strong opinion on any approach, but generally prefer g-d-p
generated packages to be engine-agnostic. Who knows, maybe some day
wolf4sdl or the next best fork will get support for Blake Stone or S3NA
and then we have already manufactured everything around ecwolf.

From what i have seen so far we should vehemently discourage users to
install upstream-provided .deb packages!

Cheers,
