My main reason for starting this discussion is to come to some sort
of agreement which form is the preferred form, so that we can have
some "how to be a good games upstream" webpage which addresses some
game specific things. I would like such a webpage to contain advice
for upstream what to use for the various ambiguities I've pointed
out in my first mail.
If you do include one of these, please include something about how to
design games to be installed system wide. Some games seem to be setup
to run out of people's home directory and mix per user data (needing
write access) with static data. I also ran across a minor secuirty
issue with a start up script that adds stuff to LDCONFIG (which
shouldn't even be needed for system installs) incorrectly.
Debian doesn't have one specifically for games, but does have a page for
upstreams [1]. Is this the sort of thing you're thinking about? If so
it may contain some helpful starting points (or, for that matter, need
expanding with your suggestions).
