  Other changes:

  [ Alexandre Detiste ]

  * Add support for more miscellaneous shop URLs
  * Fix speech alternatives in Broken Sword 1 (Closes: #795624)
  * Use apt-get 1.1 instead of dpkg to install local .deb if available;
    this will automatically pull recommended engine
  * Add "game-data-packager steam" mode
  * make-template mode: check innoextract version (Closes: #797550)
  * Call 'lgogdownloader' automatically (Closes: #782205)
  * Fix Quake2 expansions "Ground Zero" and "Reckoning", and name the .deb
    with the correct architecture, not "all"
  * Display messages about "not building X because Y is better"
    by default, not just in debug mode
  * Make it less likely that unnecessary files are downloaded
  * Don't warn if doom-wad-shareware is installed
  * Search for Steam at the root of a disk, since C:\ on SSD and
    D:\Steam on HDD is a somewhat popular setup
  * Pack game data into a zip file for faster startup when installed
  * RTCW: fix mission 1 French & Spanish briefing (Closes: #803128)

  [ Markus Koschany ]
  * Vcs-Browser: Use cgit and https.

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Use debian.debian_support.Version to compare version numbers
  * yaml2json: specifically work on one file at a time
  * Move steam and gog modes to their own modules
  * Separate GameData (static information about the game) from
    PackagingTask (the actual game-data-packaging)
  * Move detailed information about files to be packaged into separate JSON
    and *sums files, which are loaded lazily. This speeds up
    "game-data-packager --help" considerably. (Continuation of #779937)
  * Add configurable installation method instead of always using dpkg or apt
  * Add configurable privilege-gaining method instead of always using su,
    defaulting to pkexec if available, or sudo if available and the user
    is in a privileged group, or su
  * Update metadata for yquake2 mod code
    - The Reckoning (xatrix) 2.03 (Closes: #799954)
    - Ground Zero (rogue) 2.02 (Closes: #799955)
  * quake2: mention in the package descriptions and help text that we are
    using the yquake2 game-code
  * quake2: mark videos as optional (Closes: #800575)
  * Enable parallel build
  * Log external commands at debug level before we run them
  * Never try to unpack an archive more than once
  * Warn if we unpack an archive and it doesn't contain everything that
    our metadata says it should
  * rtcw: add Replaces, so that dpkg will automatically replace rtcw-data
    with language-specific packages like rtcw-en-data
  * Add --debug command-line option, more discoverable than DEBUG=1
  * Make GOG search-paths more declarative
  * quake3-team-arena-data: remove colliding symlink
  * quake3: always install the Index.html from the Linux or Windows
    full version, not the one from the demo if found
  * quake3: look for foo.htm as matching any version of foo.html where there
    are multiple versions
