Looks good to me.
Since there was nobody speaking against this, I will make the necessary changes.
If anybody has checkouts before the move it will be only a matter of
calling "svn switch" with the proper parameters. Please ask for more
information or look in the SVN book[1]

IMO this must indeed be documented, but svn is not the place to do so. The
wiki is much better for that I think. Of course it must be in a place where
people look before they start packaging. I would personally start packaging
at my own hd and only after that move it into svn, so for me at least that
wouldn't work anyway. I might however check the wiki to see if it was already
done.
Ok, then it should be specified somewhere in the Games/Unsuitable[2]
at Cube's section that packaging was attempted and was dropped
(pointing for more info to the associated bug (#360414) ).
Goneri, could you please respond on that bug? There was a request to
document the legal issues encountered.
