These are all good points. I had trouble finding something to indicate where specifically in /opt big things should go, just that they should go there. I treated it like a another /usr tree (games and shared), and then put the script under /usr/games. It seems after reading the opt readme that the maemo way would be to put everything under a single directory with the name of the package in /opt. That i can do; it's easier than what i do now.

I wanted to put the basic (required) content in the same package as the code for two reasons. First, this is a port of a largely finished project. The debian package is based on the last official release from two years ago (0.6.2). In starting with a much more recent version (0.6.6), i don't expect to be doing updates after it works right. Second, i wanted to minimize the packages the user would have to install and also show up front how much space it would take. I forget that It shows the installed size when clicking on it, so that last bit isn't much of a reason in retrospect.

The patch-type package is already in the repository, and i'll set uqm to replace it when i release the finished version, along with the optional content packages. Hopefully that will not be too problematic.
