Bug#933221: openarena: suggestion to make openarena -players-mature optional

[Tom Goulet]

Source: openarena
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to install Openarena packages, but with no nudity.

I went to install openarena with apt-get, but I specified
openarena-081-players-mature-, with the minus sign to disable installation of
the -mature package.

APT refused to install the package, because openarena-08-players-mature is a
hard dependency for openarena.

I was hoping to get openarena installed, but without the -mature package.

Is it possible to split off the mature package, rather like how xscreensaver
-bsod an -webcollage are split off?  I think it might be okay if it was an
explicit install.

Myself, and some people with whom I'd like to share Linux, have reasons to not
allow nudity, partial or not, for personal or religious reasons.  Also there
are children that use Debian and descended distributions, and I'd like them to
use free software, too.
