Well splitting it is very useful for Debian's archive and mirrors.
scripts+fonts+gfx+sound =3D over 4MB.

Binary "openmortal" is the only architecture dependant file. So it has
to be compiled for every architecture (11 right now).

Just consider what will happen when I include those architecture
independent data in that package. 11 x 4MB =3D 44MB.
That's waste of space.

There is yet another solution. I could make:

openmortal (binary) ~140kB
openmortal-data (sound+scripts+gfx+fonts) ~4MB
openmortal-base (6 default characters) ~ 15MB
openmortal-extra (rest of characters) ~30MB

But we *have* to split binary. I was packaging CannonSmash last days.
There is only 1,6MB of data in that game, and some developers asked me
to split it. So I'm *sure* they ask us to split over 4MB ;)

Great. This makes things easier ;)
