[pkg-fgfs-crew] FlightGear package improvements

Hi Chris.

Since the flightgear 2.0 package is now in Debian unstable (since I
finally got around to it), it may be time to look at ways to improve it.
I know you've had a few patches.

Of course, an important problem may be how to ensure that users actually
get the aircraft and models they're going to need to start FlightGear.
You've had concerns that users may want to be able to install their own
versions of the aircraft and models (perhaps with TerraSync), which is
part of why I haven't made flightgear depend on fgfs-aircraft-base and
fgfs-models-base; however, it's obviously also quite undesirable that
users can't just start flightgear after installing it.

How did you want to address this? Would a Recommends relation on
fgfs-aircraft-base and fgfs-models-base work? Or maybe you'd prefer
depending on virtual packages provided by these, and let any custom
aircraft packages also provide them?

Ove
