Jamie Jones was working on doomsday packages, see
<http://bugs.debian.org/319419> for an old ITP (which was
opened originally by a third person entirely). He's also
part of the upstream team (I believe), although the URLs
for the packages seem to all be broken. It would be worth
trying to contact him and see if he's still got those on
the go.

We maintain a handful of doom packages in the debian games
team - see <http://wiki.debian.org/Games> for information
on the team. I wrote some packaging guidelines for
doom-related packages that I would ask you stuck to: the
current development version of these is at
<http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-games/packages/doom-packaging/?rev=0&sc=0>.

If there's something in the doom packaging guidelines you
disagree with, please let us know :-) They're designed to
make sure all the doom packages play together nicely.

I'd suggest dropping heretic and hexen from the description
since the source for those bits is not distributable. I
think the strife implementation is from-scratch, however
the unavailability of free game data would mean that would
have to go into contrib.

How are you planning on dicing up the binaries?
