I agree.  The initial offering from flightgear is fundamentally only
for Windows - the expectation under Linux is that the packages will be
rolled into distributions.

For the aircraft, I would suggest something akin to -base, -realistic,
-fun.  That would appeal to the different classes of user.  It also
sends a clear unambigous packaging suggestion to the distribution
packages.
