Bugs,
This bug can now be fixed in Ubuntu by syncing Intrepid to prboom

I've just uploaded -5 to debian which moves the wad dependencies to
Recommends:. I received one comment on the games list which was an

Recommends is installed by default, so a user installing prboom will
automatically get freedm as well. I could understand the concern if this
