Bug#850427: chocolate-doom menu entries may do nothing

[Jonathan Dowland]

Package: chocolate-doom
Version: 2.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Since merging the package back, Andrew's message below has taken effect. I
think the quake packages have some solution to provide feedback if you don't
have the right data installed to run one of the engines. It might be worth us
taking a closer look at their solution. It might be as simple as a stanza in
the .desktop file(s) that means they don't appear if
/usr/share/games/doom/heretic.wad doesn't exist.

Subject: Bug#747256: Chocolate Doom should be split into separate packages
X-Mailer: reportbug 6.6.3

Package: chocolate-doom
Version: 2.1.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #747256

I think this is more severe than just "wishlist", since it installs menu items
for things which DO NOT WORK when you click on them (e.g. Chocolate-Heretic is
in the games menu, but absolutely nothing happens when you select it, not even
an error message about missing game data).
