Dear Maintainer,
In order to ensure a clean separation between debian provided games/mods and user provided games/modes, I suggest the following:
- User provided /usr/local/share/luanti/{games,mods}
- Debian provided /usr/share/luanti/{games,mods}
I have this working locally by updating environment variables as follows in a systemd dropin file. These could be added to the provided systemd service files.
```
Environment=MINETEST_MOD_PATH=/usr/local/share/luanti/mods/:/usr/share/luanti/mods/
Environment=MINETEST_GAME_PATH=/usr/local/share/luanti/games/:/usr/share/luanti/games/
```
There should be considerations for the existing MINETEST_MOD_PATH since it currently uses the old name minetest (i.e. /usr/share/games/minetest/mods)
This will help server operators use debian provided packages when available while still being able to bring in their own custom modifications
