Bug#567033: Clarify status of /usr/games



Hi,

I'd quite _like_ to keep /usr/games separete because it makes it
easy to implement a "you're grounded" scheme along things like
'iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -m owner --uid-owner {CHILD_USERNAME} -j REJECT'
could be use to block web access.

I would insist a bit more for /usr/share/games : when commercial
games get installed with game-data-packager, those will
dwarf the other packages, and can fill a "/ + /usr" filesystem
mounted on a cheap 64Gb SSD pretty fast.

Keeping /usr/share/games separate makes it easy to
mount it on a HDD or even via NFS.
