having slept about it, I think I will follow Simon's advice and
recommend "freedm | g-d-p" for chocolate-doom and only "g-d-p" for the
other ports.

After all, all the other packages in the list are either non-free, or
purely virtual or inofficial and not apt-get-able. So, it doesn't help
to have them listed at all. In the end, it is important that there is
one preferred solution and -- if this is not available -- there is an
alternative means provided to get the games running. And if the user
doesn't like any of the suggested solutions, he/she is still free to
remove the recommends without any damage and handle things his/her way.
