About your package, there is still some minor lintian warnings and
/usr/bin/steam-powered should be in /usr/games/steam-powered. Your
package should also depends on wine and curl since your script use

I think so should also remove the --silent flag of curl or at last
provide a --verbose parameter to disable it.
