Bug#798001: FOTAQ: please provide French, German, Hebrew & Italian versions

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: flight-of-the-amazon-queen
Version: 1.0.0-8
Severity: wishlist

FOTAQ - like the other free games BASS, Dracula & Lure
of the Temptress - has been dubbed in various languages;
but only the English version is shipped in Debian.

I thought of adding it as a definition to game-data-packager
( #783925 ) but I now realize this is a bad idea for
various reasons:
- the English version would be in main; but the
  other versions that are licensed the same way
  would require some tool in contrib.
- even after installing the correct dubbed packages;
  "queen --de" or "queen --fr" wouldn't work
- this whole setup would have poor usability and
  would require a lot of documentation


I propose this:

A small 'flight-of-the-amazon-queen' packages that only hold
the .desktop file, launcher & man pages and that depends
on "flight-of-the-amazon-queen-en | flight-of-the-amazon-queen-de
 | flight-of-the-amazon-queen-fr | flight-of-the-amazon-queen-he
 | flight-of-the-amazon-queen-it".

Each of flight-of-the-amazon-queen-## would only
hold a diffrente 'queen.1c' file.

The launcher woudl then pick the best fitting language;
in a way similar to /usr/games/drascula:

If you agree with these changes; I can provide a patch.


Cheers,
