thanks

Hi Heikki,
thank you for the report.
The behaviour you're seeing is due to upstream dropping the gametype option in [1].
Reading the commit message reminds me about that "never ass-u-me" joke...

Anyway, I think I was able to re-implement such a CLI option: please check [2], you
should be able to build yourself kpat with the patch from that MR.

Please understand, this bug not being high severity, the "fix" will not be backported
to Debian trixie: either you build yourself the patched kpat, either you wait for
next Debian release to ship kpat including (hopefully) the merged MR.

Kind regards
Marco
