Package: hedgewars
Version: 0.8.1-9
Severity: important

Hello,

The package hedgewars contains a lot of arch all files. It would be
better if the package was split in two packages: hedgewars and
hedgewars-data so that the arch all files are present only once in the
archive.


The files that should be in a -data package are the files under
/usr/share/games/hedgewars.


merci tmp # apt-cache show hedgewars | grep -i size
Installed-Size: 5536
Size: 4391914
merci tmp # expr `dpkg -c hedgewars_0.8.1-9_powerpc.deb | grep 
'share/games/hedgewars' | awk '{print $3;}' | tr '\n' "+" | sed -e 's/+\(.\)/ + 
\1/g' -e 's/+$//'`
4151788

As seen above, most part of the arch any package should be in fact arch
all.

This would lead to approximately 50 MB ( ~4MB * (13-1) arches ) space saved on 
our mirrors.
