what about installing game data to /var/games instead of packaging it
up? that path is used, for example, by bsdgames, and it is part of the
FHS.
the package postinst could set up a new directory there with write
access for only the games group. then it would be a matter of checking
the user's groups when they run game-data-packager and presenting some
guidance/help if they're not yet in games.
a better name for the package then may be "game-data-loader" or
"game-data-mover". anyway, just a thought.
