That's it.

And this give heretic.yaml & hexen.yaml:

    grep '\-data' $(grep '\-wad' *.yaml | cut -f 1 -d \: | sort -u)

At first I hadn't spotted that the "help_text:" needed to be changed too.

doom2-masterlevels-wad & doom2-nerver-wad are already OK.

And when googling, you find # years old post on help forums that are still
somewhat relevant about those.
If you don't browse the web in english like some of my friends,
you get even older/less info; so I wouldn't change this without a reason.

I would say "since Stretch" :-)

Jessie ships with the old GDP; but with a little bit of pinning
this would be easy to use testing's GDP on Jessie
as there are no fancy dependency.
