Yes, but it's crap. There are several better ones around which should be
packaged for debian. We need a virtual package name, infocom-interpreter
perhaps.

None of the ones by infocom can be distributed. There are lots of
infocom-format games by other people, mostly produced by the inform
compiler. In general the source code is not available (because that would
make the games too easy :) so as Charles said, they would have to be in
contrib.
