 Debian Quake mini-policy, version 1
 ===================================
 
+Configuration files
+-------------------
+
+Quake engines add many configuration options, and their savegames aren't
+necessarily compatible, so they should not share a dot-directory. Use a
+different dot-directory per engine (the engines initially packaged for Debian,
+QuakeSpasm and DarkPlaces, use ~/.quakespasm and ~/.darkplaces).

-Quake engines do not generally share a dot-directory, so installing a "better"
-engine would hide user configuration and save-games. Accordingly, every
-implementation of the alternatives should register with priority 0, so that

+to "lose" their configuration and savegames.
