Bug#600364: aisleriot: include popular games in package description

Package: gnome-games
Version: 1:2.30.2-2
Severity: minor

Please include popular games in the package description for aisleriot
to make it easier for users to locate this package when they are
looking for a particular game.  While there are too many solitaire
games to list them all, we sometimes hear from users requesting a
particular game, and this package will be passed over in an apt-cache
search, e.g.

$ apt-cache search spider solitaire
kpat - solitaire card games
vgacardgames - Four SVGAlib card games

Yet aisleriot includes this popular solitaire game.

Here are a few off the top of my head.  Please feel free to amend:

  * aisleriot -solitaire card games such as: spider, freecell,
    klondike, thirteen (pyramid), yukon, canfield and many more

I include here the more familiar name 'pyramid' for what aisleriot calls
'thirteen' (search the web and you'll find many more references in other
implementations of the game as 'pyramid').

Thanks,
Ben
