Bug#783817: game-data-packager: consider new pseudo-Section for generated files?

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 40
Severity: wishlist

The files generated by game-data-packager are not trivially distinguishable
from non-free games obtained from Debian (doom-wad-shareware) or from
some other source (e.g. gog.com), and show up in e.g. aptitude under

"Obsolete and Locally Created" -> games -> non-free

However, most of them are in fact "worse than non-free": they cannot be
redistributed at all without copyright infringement.

I'm tempted to say that we should put them in some new pseudo-component
and/or pseudo-section, like maybe non-distributable/game-data-packager.
Thoughts?
