commit 31e60c52ec3bccf42a3cb7a3d5639e475a1831e0
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv at debian.org>

    Work around #589896
    
    * Install the real game engine binary to /usr/lib/games/openarena/ioquake3,
      and make /usr/games/openarena into a trivial shell-script wrapper for it.
    * In that wrapper, set s_alDevice to "" on every run, working around a crash
      seen with some saved configurations that are no longer valid.
      (Closes: #589896)
    * As a result of that workaround, you can no longer reconfigure s_alDevice
      by editing q3config.cfg, but you can still run openarena with command-line
      parameters such as:
          openarena +set s_alDevice '"PulseAudio Software"'
      if you think you know better than ioquake3 :-)
