Actually, the "Debian" external role didn't work because it's so large
it triggers an OOM error for PHP, but I temporarily increased the memory
limit and added the required permissions to it. It should now work, as
in "all DDs should automatically be members of the scm_pkg-games Unix
group".

It can be done with ACLs, but that would be manual.

I'm not sure what exactly is non-standard about this project. A
casual glance didn't show anything obvious.
