It would remove the conflict reported by the tools, but wouldn't it leave
behind a subtler problem?  A user would not be able to use both tools,
since putting $PREFIX/bin and $PREFIX/games in his or her PATH would
restore the namespace conflict.  Or am I misunderstanding what sort of
file ``omega'' is--i've never installed those packages.

I agree with others who have said that games are not less equal than other
programs and don't deserve this SysV-ish back-of-the-bus-with-you
segregation. The only way it's not annoying is for people who don't play
the games.  I confess I'm such a person, but if nobody plays the games and
thus nobody is annoyed by games/, why install the games at all?
