Hi,

I didn't look at the package, but just a quick note:

python-* packages are normally modules for use by programmers, not end user
programs.  In this case, there seems to be such a module (in the
python3-adventure package), but that is really an internal part of
colossal-cave-adventure?  If it is unlikely that any other package will ever
use the module, it probably shouldn't be a public module, but it should be in
(or under) /usr/share/colossal-cave/adventure/ instead.  The usual way to make
sure the game can find the module, is by installing it in the same place, and
making a symlink from /usr/games/ to there.  Python follows the symlink to find
the module.

Similarly for adventure-common: the usual reason for splitting off common files
is that you don't want a copy for every arch on the mirrors, so you throw all
the arch:all stuff in there and keep the arch:any stuff (which is much less) in
a separate package.  In this case, the game itself is arch:all as well, so
splitting off the common files doesn't have an advantage.  Or do you have a
different reason for the split?  Do you expect any package (or user) to need
the data files, but not the game?

Thanks,
Bas
