src:debian-games blend



Hi Markus and others,

I feel that having a "Recommends: lgogdownloader, innoextract" in G-D-P
is maybe a bit too-much. People that don't have a GOG.com don't
want to pull these packages and their depedencies.

Maybe a virtual package would be better ?

What's the best place to host it, in src:debian-games or src:game-data-packager ?

Here's a sample:
