Hi

Vavoom has already been packaged for a long time in Fedora and uses
autodownloader for enabling users to use the shareware data easily.   I
have recently packaged a alternative Doom engine called Chocolate Doom
[2] which is a more conservative port that aims to be more compatible
with mods.   I could package other Doom engines out there including
odamex[2],  some of them unique.  It doesn't make much sense to
duplicate the autodownloader related files.  Debian has some guidelines
[3]  What would be the best way to handle this?
