Although Waste's Edge is considered a demo, it is a fully playable
game episode, although development obviously concentrates on the
engine. You can see for yourself[0], plot, graphics and sound are
excellent (well ok, graphics don't compare to Baldur's Gate or
whatever ;-) ).

I'm trying to clarify the usefulness of Waste's Edge once newer
versions are released with upstream right now. Either
adonthell-wastessedge should really be adonthell-data and it's
episodes get exchanged on upgrades, or new 'demos' or episodes will
also get their own adonthell-<...> package. This is not going to flood
the package pool as their release cycle is not very fast.
