I think this could also be improved by removing the virtual package 'freeciv' (which has no reverse dependencies, lacks a description in package managers by virtue of being a virtual package and is not in the canonical list of virtual packages anyway[1], so seems to serve no useful purpose) and replacing it with a metapackage which has a useful description and appropriate *dependencies* to install a usable game. (That is, depends on server, not recommends.) Then, the onus would not necessarily be on the various client packages to explain the whole situation themselves.
