I'm not sure whether we want to be getting into packaging every DOS
game on gog.com. What do other maintainers think?

If we do package DOS gams, we should certainly prefer to use Debian
dosbox rather than gog.com's binaries. I think that probably means we
only need the contents of the data/noarch/data directory, plus the PDFs
from data/noarch/docs, and configuration files to run dosbox?
