I will try, but probably not before the weekend. If you would like to
know sooner, it is not actually difficult to compile the xonotic
logic:
* clone the upstream git git.xonotic.org/xonotic/xonotic-
data.pk3dir.git
* checkout the 0.7.0 tag
* run some sort of gmqcc "something" command (I guess the gmqcc
manpage will help here) in the top directory. For reference you may
want to look at how fteqcc is called in the darkplaces-data package
(though the arguments may be completely different for gmqcc, I have
not checked).
Sorry - I really don't have time this week.

Don't get me wrong, this is exactly where I think it should be. My
opinion is that document is not documentation for the compiler - it
even describes itself as the specification for "The GMQCC QuakeC
Programming Language". I would say that the manpage is the
docmentation for the compiler.

I think pdf.gz, but I have never included pdf documentation in a
package before.

See John's email. This is only a build depend though, so I think it's
OK. FYI, if the documentation were in a arch indep package, then the
latex package would only be a Build-Depends-Indep and so would not be
installed for all but one arch.
If you really want to make sure that everyone who installs the
compiler has the pdf and the syntax files installed, but took the arch
indep route, you could make the gmqcc package depend on the "gmqcc-
arch-indep" package.

Great. One step closer :)
