Something akin to:
.--==[ debian/{xabacus,xmabacus}.install ]
play.sh /usr/share/games/xabacus/
`
.--==[ debian/rules ]
CONFIGURE_FLAGS := ... \
--enable-def-play=/usr/share/games/xabacus/play.sh
`
(untested)
If the configure rule works, and at the first glance I see no reason why it
wouldn't, there's even no need to patch the source.
Meow!

There's no need to bother the upstream for a distribution-specific change. That's why the packaging allows arbitrary patches atop what's shipped in the tarball. > It is possible that the author thinks some other system to manage this > subject. what do you think? The helper script's approach doesn't look wrong to me. It's quite amusing to see what operating systems are supported by it, though...

The new version puts a helper script into $PATH: /usr/games/play.sh This doesn't look like a good place for a private helper. Its name is also pretty generic, not conflicting with other programs only because filename extensions are banned in $PATH (Policy §10.4). Thus, could you please move it into a private dir?
