I have no objection to game-data-packager supporting major
free-as-in-beer mods as well as retail games, if their licensing is too
restrictive or too vague for non-free (for instance I've vaguely
wondered whether to add support for Threewave and the xcsv-hires texture
pack to quake3.yaml).

"Launcher" stuff like .desktop files can either go in src:quake or in
game-data-packager; I have a slight preference for putting that in
src:quake, because we cannot assume that game data generated with g-d-p
will ever be updated, so we should probably err on the side of putting
files that could have packaging bugs in src:quake where it will get updates.

I don't think it necessarily makes sense to get into packaging the "long
tail" of individual maps/models/misc, but if anyone wants to curate some
sort of "best of" collections of smaller addons (analogous to the
existing support for Compet-N for Doom), they're welcome to do so.
