Package: mednafen
Version: 0.8.D.3-1vnzsquezze1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

mednafen provides several emulators but theres no alternatives system like
fceu emulator or similar.

The emulator "Mednafen" and the version recently uploaded on experimental
provides a wide variety of emulations, but this is unknown to users.

Packages like fceu provides THROUGH system "update-alternatives" links for
emulted provides "nes" and the manpage respetively, but no Mednafen.

Mednafen its more flexible and highly configurable, in addition to being
well documented, and the file configuration are plain editable, too many
advantages, but does not provide links to the provides emulated ystems by
alternatives system.

In this email I add scripts prerm and postinst necessary to help improve
this package in debian, so as venenux will does and massenkoh. Son then can
added to control the field "Provides : nes-emulator , gg-emulator ,
sgg-emulator , sms-emulator , pce-emulator , gba-emulator , gbc-emulator ,
lynx-emulator , ngp-emulator , ngc-emulator , wsc-emulator , lnx-emulator"
or sometingh like!

I hope this help improve pakage , i like a link to more emulated system by
thi emulator,

also improve description please! ¬_¬u

The scripts out this : change acordaly to debian please!
