I actually rather like having IF games controlled by dpkg -- just like I
like having all the other sofwtware and even documentation I use under
it. The only issues I see are:
1. There are a *lot* of IF games!
2. They are small individually.
Both can be aided by having groups of games when possible -- e.g., one
pack for each IF competition. Also, both would be alleviated if the
"games" category had a subcategory for IF.
At any rate, we already have a system for managing installed programs.
Is there really no way to use it?
