The canonical way to solve those issues ist trying to educate upstream. Using sysmlinks might be a temporary fix. > 6. I have no idea how to solve this. :/ The canonical way is to have an arch independent package containing the /usr/share part and to having the arch dependent packages depend on the arch independent package. That way, the big contents in /usr/share is in the archive only once and not once per arch. > 7.

What is actually installed to usr/games/roadfighter? Lintian says it's something that the system cannot run in the first place. And, a segmentation fault is always a bug that should be fixed, preferably upstream.
