OK, there are really _many_ FHS problems with this package, so I'm going
to go through the files in the source package systematically.

For the following, read:

    $(DOCDIR) = /usr/share/doc/opencity
    $(CONFDIR) = /etc/opencity
    $(DATADIR) = /usr/share/{games,}/opencity

For some reason, recent games are going in /usr/share/games/$(PACKAGE)
vice /usr/share/$(PACKAGE), for which there's no FHS justification
AFAICT but that's not strictly a policy violation.

AUTHORS -- doesn't ship, must be in $(DOCDIR)
ChangeLog -- OK
COPYING, COPYRIGHT, INSTALL -- don't ship, that's OK
NEWS -- empty file, doesn't ship, that's OK
OpenCity.desktop -- double-installed in /usr/share/applications
    (correct) and $(DATADIR) (redundant)
OpenCity.png -- double-installed in /usr/share/pixmaps (correct) and
    $(DATADIR) (redundant)
README, TODO -- don't ship, must be in $(DOCDIR)

autopackage/ -- ships in $(DATADIR), no reason to ship at all
config/* -- ship in $(DATADIR)/config; must be in $(CONFDIR)
docs/* -- ship in $(DATADIR)/docs; must be in $(DOCDIR)
graphism/, model/, sound/, texture/ -- correctly ship in $(DADADIR)
