John,
I see now. I agree, man-power is better spent on things other than
separating the free-cell game from the games package. I was simply trying
to figure out the reason why, and see if there was some way I could
contribute to giving the users of Ubuntu more freedom on what they have on

Hi guys. Thanks for your detailed replies.
I think I'm having a difficult time expressing what I'm trying to get
across. It's kind of a vague notion.
My problem isn't that for me its difficult to either just remove the
package entirely (in this case, I don't play any of those games and do
