[Bug 556593] Re: sync openttd 1.0.0-1 from Debian unstable

[Remko Bijker]

OpenTTD-OpenSFX is Suggested because it is in Debian's non-free section
and OpenTTD is in main. Debian's policy is to not allow Recommending
packages from non-free/contrib in main. As such it is Suggested.

OpenTTD-OpenSFX is in non-free because it uses the Creative Commons
Sampling Plus which is deemed non-free by Debian. That license has been
"chosen" because all but one sample are from a database with samples
under that license, the other is "public domain".

OpenMSX requires some sort of midi synthesizer, which is why OpenTTD
suggests timidity and freepats. However, the suggests are not included
automatically on installation, i.e. you need to install timidity to get
the music working. Why that isn't a recommends I do not know, but I
guess it has to do with the number of people that actually use the music
instead of their own (external) music player.
