Yes of course, but if GDP is released as-is, it will be broken by 
the non backward-compatible changes in lgogdownloader argument handling.

-  --no-cover
-  --no-installers
-  --no-extras
-  --no-patches
-  --no-language-packs
-  --no-dlc
-  --cover
+  --include arg (=all)
+  --exclude arg (=covers)

-  --platform arg (=5)
-  --platform-priority arg
+  --platform arg (=w+l)

-  --language arg (=1)
+  --language arg (=en)
-  --language-priority arg

Adding a lot of run-time version checking is ok for apt & innoextract;
as the version in Jessie are still usable.

The easiest solution is to delay GPD release till a new lgogdownloader release.

If that isn't planed anytime soon; maybe would you mind packaging a new git snapshot ?

I'll ask upstream if he's ok to keep this backward compatible from now.

Regards,

Alexandre
