[pkg-ggz-maintainers] Making packaging of GGZ easier

[Josef Spillner]

The following changes are currently underway in GGZ SVN which should make the 
packaging for Debian easier:

* Multiple game module registries. In addition to /etc/ggz.modules, the 
environment variable GGZ_REGISTRIES can be set up with a colon-separated list 
of files. In addition, /etc/ggz.modules.d could be used although it's not 
implemented yet. Would be easy to add though, and saves the post-inst 
scripts. Nevertheless, having a single registry still has its advantages IMHO. 
The startup cost of parsing ~40 individual module.dsc files would be 
noticeable for several applications.

* Fewer packages - instead of 16 like with 0.0.14, we're already down to 11. 
The packages are now mainly clustered according to their dependencies.

* Pluggable database modules, although this has been around in SVN for many 
months already.

Comments?

In return for this cool news, someone should fix up the two RC bugs (one can 
be closed I think) before the Lenny freeze kicks the package out of the pool.
