Which means having a Depends: quake2-data?

end on quake2-data, which is provided by quake2-data-nonfree. Now, if you DID have something that was just the gamecode, and you had a freestanding interpreter (such as the one in quakeforge), then you could have the interpreter with no depends[0], and make your gamecode depend on the interpreter. [0] technically with quakeforge's interpreter, it'd depend on the quakeforge libs, but that doesn't really matter. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus
