I missed that Urban Terror and World of Padman need to download content in order to be playable. I don't think this is appropriate for the livedvd and have pulled them from the spin (and updated the spin page).

As I noted before, check for packages that depend on autodownloader. All of them require additional content to be downloaded. FWIW, the consensus in a previous discussion was that games using autodownloaded can be included in the games spin. You are free to change this as the spin maintainer however.

I took your advice previously, but didn't do the check correctly. I forgot to do a recursive check and the two games above depend on quake3 which depends on autodownloader. I ran across the issue when trying out Urban Terror and figured out what probably went wrong when I last looked and then also found World of Padman had been missed.
I personally don't think having games which need downloadable content for the games spin is a good idea. I don't think it is so bad that no exceptions could be made. If the size of the needed content is small and the game is particularly unique and good making an exception would be reasonable.

Ehhm, UrT comes with his own modified q3-engine. Why is the dependency from UrT to the q3 package?

IIRC, in Fedora, UrT (among other q3 based games) were modified to work with the system wide q3 engine.
