Bug#875547: animals: can't be played as non root user

[Aaron Howell]

Package: animals
Version: 201207131226-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The game tries to write its database in /var/games/animals, and segfaults on 
startup when it can't.
it needs to either be setuid/gid to a user that can write to that location (but 
do nothing else),
or it should use a local database in the user's home directory.
At the moment it can only be played as root.
