Package: phalanx
Version: 22-15
Severity: serious
Justification: uninstallable in some circumstances

While testing phalanx with piuparts, I get the following error:

  Unpacking phalanx (from .../phalanx_22-15_i386.deb) ...
  Setting up phalanx (22-15) ...
  dd: opening `/var/games/phalanx.learn': No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing phalanx (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   phalanx
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This would seem to be because the postinst script assumes /var/games
exists, but it is not part of base-files, so the package needs to create
it if it doesn't exist, and remove when the package is removed (unless
it's still being used by others). For example the gnome-games package
does this (the first package I found).
