I think we should give up on /usr/games and move those executables to /usr/bin, renaming any binaries that conflict.This seems somewhat off-topic for a discussion of FTBFS - I hope that packages don't assume that /usr/games is in the PATH at build time in any case.Is it a bug if they do? Buildd's have /usr/games in the default PATH so I don't think we notice now. My archive rebuild now uses PATH=/usr/bin so I will get breakage for any package that FTBFS because of missing /usr/games in PATH. If this causes too much problems, I'll probably modify it to use PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/games unless there is some clarification if this is a bug worth reporting.
It seems really unfortunate to me that /usr/games continues to generate so much discussion :)
