Bug#510288: win32-loader: detect common Windows software and install the equivalents in Debian



Package: win32-loader
Severity: wishlist

I think it would be good if win32-loader could detect various Windows
software and prompt the user to install the equivalents available in
Debian. FOSS software for Windows could be directly mapped to the Debian
packages. Machines containing games could suggest games metapackages for
the general category of games installed.

Some examples of other apps:

Firefox -> Iceweasel
Microsoft Office -> OpenOffice.org
Adobe Photoshop -> GIMP, Inkscape
Warcraft -> Wesnoth, Glest, Warzone2100

This would be a useful part of Windows -> Debian migrations.
