There are videos in Warzone 2100, which are not packaged in Debian. Currently, users who wish to have those videos need to download and install them manually, which is cumbersome.

The purpose of Debian archive is to make it easy for users to install software. This is why I ask to package those videos for Debian. This way, it would be possible to install both the game and the videos with a single command.

The "standard" quality videos are 500MB for English and another 500MB for
German.  I don't think the benefit of this justifies the archive and mirror
space.

What would make sense is an installer script.  This could be a small package
that downloads the files in the postinst and deletes them in the postrm.  It
could also be a script in the main warzone2100 package that allows the user to
easily install the file in their home directory while giving the options for
quality and language.

I don't plan to write this, I don't think this is an important issue and as
far as I am aware warzone2100 is ready for Bookworm right now.
