On the other hand, typing "no rest" into omnibox/gnome-shell/whatever
will also bring up the game if you called the package
doom2-nerve-wad. ;)

Yes, I know. But this is not within most game engines' search path and I
am used to *not* using g-d-p at all (I usually start my games from the
command line and g-d-p didn't add very much helpful until a few releases
ago). Actually, on my system /usr/share/games is a symlink into the
Games directory in my $HOME.
