Severity: wishlist

Dear Debian Games Team,

with great joy I saw all the neat games-* meta packages in Aptitude's
New Packages list this evening.

I though miss one such package: games-minesweeper

There are so many and partially very interesting minesweeper variants
(e.g. triangles and hexagons :-) in Debian, so that I think it valids
its own meta package.

Proposed packages which should be pulled in by that metapackage:

  ace-of-penguins - penguin-themed solitaire games
  freesweep - text-based minesweeper
  gnome-mines - popular minesweeper puzzle game for GNOME
  gnomine - popular minesweeper puzzle game for GNOME (transitional package)
  kmines - minesweeper game
  sgt-puzzles - Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection - 1-player puzzle games
  xbomb - 'minesweeper' game with squares, hexagons or triangles
  xdemineur - Yet another minesweeper for X

And of course, there's also aptitude. But that's surely at most a
Suggests. But having it in games-minesweeper as Suggests would be really
cool. ;-)

(I actually thought there were even more minesweeper implementations in
Debian. But so far I only found one more which got removed from Debian
recently, i.e. is still in Squeeze: mines.app)
