Where possible, I would like demo/shareware/limited versions to be
co-installable with the full version. Game engine maintainers are very
likely to own a copy of the full version, and if the demo is not
co-installable, it makes it hard for the engine maintainer to test.

As I think I've already demonstrated with src:quake, I'm happy to modify
game engines' packages to make this possible.

It's probably possible to make this work without an additional pk3 for
the two files you mentioned on the upstream bug, by just unpacking them
so that there is a ui/ directory next to assets0.pk3, and renaming or
symlinking suitably.

FilePlanet URLs are not suitable for deep-linking. You'll get 403
Forbidden unless you have recently followed a download link from the
user-facing website (I'm not sure whether it uses cookies or your IP
address to track this).
