Package: teeworlds-server
Version: 0.7.2-3
I installed teeworlds-server on a fresh installation of buster and
followed the instructions in the README:
# adduser --force-badname _teeworlds
# systemctl enable teeworlds-server
# systemctl start teeworlds-server
However, the teeworlds server failed to start:

The problem is that the "/home/_teeworlds/.local/share/teeworlds"
directory does not exist. Creating it fixed the issue:
# su - _teeworlds -c 'mkdir -p /home/_teeworlds/.local/share/teeworlds'

This directory either needs to be created automatically, or additional
instructions should be added to the README.
Thanks,
