Hey,
question: what is the difference between https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/snes9x.html this package, and libretro-snes9x in this RFS? is it the same package? (not a problem in reintroducing it, but having the same package with a different name is not easily discoverable by end users, I would expect at least a Provides: snes9x line)
Nope, it's not the same. That package is the standalone gtk version, It's related to #643595 actually.
This libretro package needs a frontend to work, like RetroArch, Phoenix [1], Gnome Games [2] or ZMZ [3].
I think "Provides: snes9x" is not the case, with snes9x or snes9x-gtk the user expects a standalone program.
