I am calling gdebi from "game-package" to install a .deb
which we have generated into a temp file created with
mktemp. I have a random suffix (.XXXXXX => random numbers
by mktemp) for safety. gdebi won't accept it because it is
is not suffixed with .deb. I can work around this fairly
easily, but gdebi should really not care about the file
extension (and use something more robust to guess the
contents if it needs to)
