Bug#451668: litian: Check for game binaries in usr/bin
Package: lintian
Serverity: wishlist
Conforming to the Debian Policy states that games should install
binaries in /usr/games:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s11.11
If the a package has a .menu file, lintian could check if the category
is "Games/*", and in this check if the command starts with
"/usr/games" as it should and not "/usr/bin".
Also, if it has a *.desktop file and the categories list includes
"Game", it should check if the executable it refers to is installed in
/usr/games or /usr/bin.
Just some ideas :)
Cheers,
