Bug#1098466: CCLP level packs are nonfree

[Patrice Duroux]

Hi all,
Sorry but this didn't jump out at me when reading the License and
Credits sections of README.md.

Newby questions what could be an improvement:
Add Files-Excluded in its d/copyright? and update branches (source,
pristine-tar) with content excluding those files?
Or is it possible to build an extra binary tworld-data-ccpl package in
the non-free/games section by the same packaging
and having a kind of the following rule in the d/copyright?

Files: data/CCLP*.*
License: non-free

Or any other pictures...
