Agreed. First I thought about downgrading those packages to Suggests but now I have removed them. > libcegui-mk2-dev might be something to add to the C/C++ category.

In many cases the level editor is already part of the game itself hence I believe such an extra metapackage would probably duplicate our efforts. Extremetuxracer is one of the few games that ship an extra package for developing new levels (although this one is not compatible with the current 0.6 branch). Other packages like Neverball provide an additional binary which we ship together with the game executable or the map editor is already part of the game (Cube2). > I would also suggest some -dev packages for production of graphics, > audio, video but perhaps the multimedia blend would be a better place > for that? I tend to agree that the multimedia blend would be a better place especially for the development of audio or video entertainment. But if we really wanted to support -dev packages for content development, I would need some hints how specific we want it. Just »games-content-dev« with major tools like Gimp, Inkscape, Audacity? or more fine-grained »games-audio-dev« »games-video-dev« »games-graphics-dev« In any event some suggestions for relevant packages would be appreciated. :) Markus
