Source: debian-games
Severity: wishlist
Version: 2.4
The debian/changelog entry for 2.4 says:
* Remove finest-light binary package. Nowadays modern computers should be
capable of running all free software games in Debian without restrictions.
The latter is neither true nor should it be a reason to remove this IMHO
very useful metapackage:
* There are definitely many modern computers without graphics
hardware acceleration, espcially in the single board computer
segment (ARM, MIPS, etc., which Debian also targets).
* On all devices which boot up on SD or MicroSD cards, disk space is
scarce and hence a collection of lightweight games makes also sense
for more powerful computers which don't have a hard disk or real SSD.
* Debian does not only run on "modern" computers.
