I've digged gemrb a bit,

apt-cache search gemrb
 gemrb - Open-source engine to run Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment
 gemrb-baldurs-gate - GemRB binary and configuration for Baldur's Gate game
 gemrb-baldurs-gate-2 - GemRB binary and configuration for Baldur's Gate 2 game
 gemrb-baldurs-gate-2-data - GemRB data files for Baldur's Gate 2 game
 gemrb-baldurs-gate-data - GemRB data files for Baldur's Gate game
 gemrb-data - Common data files for GemRB
 gemrb-doc - Documentation for GemRB
 gemrb-icewind-dale - GemRB binary and configuration for Icewind Dale game
 gemrb-icewind-dale-2 - GemRB binary and configuration for Icewind Dale 2 game
 gemrb-icewind-dale-2-data - GemRB data files for Icewind Dale 2 game
 gemrb-icewind-dale-data - GemRB data files for Icewind Dale game
 gemrb-planescape-torment - GemRB binary and configuration for Planescape: Torment game
 gemrb-planescape-torment-data - GemRB data files for Planescape: Torment game
 libgemrb - Shared libraries and plugins for GemRB


It seems that the gemrb package is a shared runtime needed by the
gemrb-baldurs-gate, gemrb-baldurs-gate-2 packages...

So in G-D-P the engine: tag should have this "gemrb-baldurs-gate" value
instead of a plain "gemrb" so that apt 1.1 pull the right set of dependencies.

Now, the wording of the generated long package description could
be special-cased to make it less weird.

+  if 'gemrb' in engine:
+     engine = 'gemrb'
   long_desc += ' Intended for use with: ' + engine

Further, I don't understand the split between "gemrb" & "libgemrb",
if those two 'any' package must always be present together & at the same version;
couldn't they be merged in on package ?

I suggest the path to be /usr/share/gemrb/baldurs-gate-1,
that would a symlink to /usr/share/gemrb/baldurs-gate-1-{en|de|fr|..}

Does the alternatives mechanism handle directories too ?

I'll try it !
