Hi,

that's a good suggestion. I will change that for all gemrb games. I also
agree with the package description patch, good idea.

Beats me. Perhaps we should CC Beren Minor (maintainer of gemrb) ?

Puh, I don't think so. Binaries can be handled by the alternative
mechanism... but directories? I think we should keep the current naming
scheme /usr/share/gemrb/baldurs-gate-1-{en|de|fr|..}. This ensures that
the user can install multiple versions in parallel. He only has to
change the /etc/gemrb/[game].conf file and set GamePath to one of these
directories.

Ok. Thank you. :)
