Thanks for the log, I had set up this assertion and now I fall in my
own trap, fixed.

This is checked late when the package is already almost done; so I
hope it works now.

No, it will find the files under /usr/share/games/doom automatically
by checksum.

This means for you a lot of packages. If you install those and the
files were not
at the exact same location, you'll get duplicates.

I'm myself even more pedantic: all non packaged stuff goes in /usr/local
with symlinks in /usr if needed.

This helped much.
