Hi,

the real issue here is that fenix only works on 32bit architectures. [1]

I think that your statement that Debian might be perceived as unsuited
for daily use due to this bugs is an exaggeration but I agree that the
only way to work around this issue is to limit the games to the same
architectures fenix has been built on. (fenix control file is outdated
too but the following list should suffice)

arm armel armhf hppa hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-i386 m68k mips mipsel
powerpc s390 sh4

If nobody beats me to it I will update the packages and fenix after the
freeze.
