Right. I think we were never going to add it to the freedoom package.
But since its mere download size doesn't justify its own package, I
think adding it to doom-wad is the most reasonable thing to do.

Well, let's say it requires Boom (or at least a limit-removing port).
If we do not add further integration, e.g. a desktop file or similar, I
don't think there is anything we would need to change to the doom-wad
package's dependencies.

Na, I don't think so. We already have the most faithful Vanilla and
Boom ports in Debian and we even have Doomsday for those who like
graphical bling at the cost of compatibility. I am not sure how far
Gloome or GPLGZDoom are, but they could be worth considering in the
future.

Crispy Doom, on the other hand, is really just my hobby project. A
niche port for which I cannot guarantee how much time I will be able to
spend on in the short term.

Cheers,

Fabian
