Hi,

Game-Data-Packager can now build .deb files for Maniac Mansion,
Day Of The Tentacle & Curse Of Monkey Island and should be at one
point able to package all the non-free scummvm games.

I first tought of adding each indivual game as a Suggests: to scummvm package,
but there are so many.

I propose instead to add a virtual package scummvm-nonfree-game that
would be Suggested by scummvm and provided by all the packages made by
GDP; this way they are not marked as useless & removed by deborphan
and/or aptitude.

Then, it woumd needs to go there (?)
