Thanks for working on doomsday. I just wanted to chime in and say that
anything is better than just a removal but you should be aware of that
installing the binary into /usr/games is a Debian Policy requirement and
not something specific to doomsday. Everything else is up-to the person
who actually works on the package.

Markus
