It is the minimum I would expect from a good package, of course it can be
done much better.

Personally I do not care much about the games, because I expect them to be
unsecure and simply do not install them on important servers with multiple
users. However I can understand admins who want to maintain a friendly user
environemnt, and we should serve them by allowing "chmod g-s /usr/games/*".

BTW: anband is playable without sgid, but since I do not manage to get past
level 1 i am nor sure what kind of implications this has :)
