Oh, I agree that it needs done. But, since we're discussing voluntary work, with no possibility of being fired because of not doing things that need to be done... it's realistic to expect that things will be left uncomplete, with some things that do need to be done left undone.

Some developers, to be sure, will dislike it, and yet have the strength of character to do it; many will not. So the only way that all (rather, I should say even most) games will get packaged is by efforts of other people, packaging for the developers.

There are no obvious candidates for this; I don't think packaging is a lower-skill task than programming, like documentation. And I doubt there's anyone who would rather package than develop. So it's left to people with a sufficiently intense annoyance at everyone else's unpackaged games to pick them up and package them. (Who don't take the natural response to such annoyance: leaving!) Also, if Nokia wanted to include these games in the distro, they could hire people to sit around packaging other people's stuff (as e.g. Redhat does).

But I think we'll always be stuck with this problem to some degree.
