[Bug 2046388] Re: reinstate alex4-data as an alternative to game-data-packager

[Julian Andres Klode]

I do not agree with the change in dependency ordering. If you go build
yourself a repository with alex4-data in it for your own local use, you
don't want to end up with apt installing game-data-packager, hence
alex4-data should be first.

Title:
  reinstate alex4-data as an alternative to game-data-packager

Status in alex4 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As discussed in LP: #2045607, the reason for alex4 relying on
  alex4-data, even though alex4-data is not a distributable package (at
  least publicly), is so that users can build a package which bundles
  all of the non-distributable data once and then distribute it to their
  other machines without having to rebuild it.

  A previously provided example of this currently is the package
  opentyrian, which relies on "tyrian-data | game-data-packager":

  https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/opentyrian

  
  One change that we should make is to put game-data-packager first in the OR condition. Some tools may try very hard to install the first option and I think putting the package which is actually available in the archive first makes a little more sense.
