Package: slashem
Version: 0.0.7E7F3-1.3
Severity: normal

Slashem defines a "wizard" user with the ability to tweak many
properties of the game during play. This is useful not only for
debugging purposes, but also for experimenting with various methods to
solve a particular situation in-game. Many of these situations are
impossible to reproduce without using the commands that are only
available to the "wizard" user.

However, the slashem package does not add a user called "wizard" to the
system; instead, it redefines "wizard" to be the user "root". While
adding yet another user to the system may be undesirable, the use of
"root" for game exploration and debugging is certainly undesirable as
well.

Maybe there could be an installation option to choose whether to create
a separate "wizard" user, or map the "wizard" user to an existing user
account?

Thanks in advance for looking into this issue.
