Description: graphics and audio data for kq
This package contains the architecture-independent data for the
adventure game kq. In most cases, you will never have to install
kq-data directly, it shall be pulled in automatically if you install
kq. At this point, there are no other packages which provide an
alternative data set for kq.

This package is a place holder, and only present to provide a smooth
upgrade path for vlc-alsa. This package can be safely removed when
installed. If you did not have vlc-alsa installed previously, there
is no need to install this package.
If you really need help in providing a new user enough
information to determine whether they shoulkd install your package or
not, please contact me off list, and I'll try and help to the extent
of my free time.
