IANADD(Y) I do think /usr/lib/<package> is the right place for the binaries; mozilla does it that way, rpm stores scripts and programs there, and now I am getting tired of looking for more -- so you can't be too far off. :)
Also, if the minimal game dataset does need to be customized before use, /usr/share/doc/<pckage>/examples sounds right to me -- throwing them in /usr/lib/<package> and requiring customization Just Seems Wrong -- they really *are* examples. (However, there might be an argument for /usr/share/<package> instead..)
