Please drop gnome-games and gnome-games-extra-data from raring

[Jeremy Bícha]

The gnome-games source package has been replaced by individual packages for each of the games. The extra artwork included in gnome-games-extra-data has now been included with each of the corresponding games directly. There shouldn't be any remaining reverse-depends. (But see also bug 1165397 for a reverse-recommends).

Please drop the gnome-games source package from raring and the gnome-games and gnome-games-data binaries.

Please drop the gnome-games-extra-data binary and source package from raring.

Could this be replaced with a metapackage?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Yes, meta-gnome3 for instance could provide a gnome-games metapackage. I mentioned it to Debian but didn't really get a response. You could file a bug for that though.
