Installing into /usr/games
Cheers,
I'm an upstream author of an alternative MMORPG client for a proprietary 
game. Sadly we're currently also using their proprietary graphics package, 
so we won't be trying to get into Debian until we figure out how to solve 
that (20000+ sprites are in question).
So, I'd rather like to consider creating Debian package an exercise for 
future, including this MMORPG and my future projects :)
I am not very well versed in autoconf / automake, and the current build 
process is a hack. Debian packaging is on a bit better feet, but since 
autotools are having issues, so is the Debian package.
The problem is currently in the "make install" step. I am simply unable to 
get it to install into /usr/games and googling around did not help. I'm 
messing with it for many hours now, so I believe nobody can say I didn't 
try ;)
I found some hack in package tmw, file "tmw.install". I changed name to 
"yatc.install" and added proper lines:
yatc                 usr/games
debian/yatc.desktop  usr/share/applications
However I now get it in two places, both /usr/bin and /usr/games, and 
Lintian yells at me.
So, what is the proper way to make it get installed into $(prefix)/games?
By the way,

Hope it includes everything needed!
