+I have a question here: currently, the version of the game subpackages
+is the same as the main ioquake3 package (ioquake3-1.36-0.svn2102.0),
+which in my opinion is wrong, as it could confuse users about which
+game version they're installing. The game subpackage should have the
+game version, ie: urbanterror-4.1.1-1 instead of
+urbanterror-1.36-0.svn2102.0
+
+One way to accomplish this could be to redefine Version and Release in
+the game subpackages, but I don't know if this ok to do, thinking in
+future updates of the ioquake3 main package or changes in any of the
+game subpackages. Or just redefine Version and use the same Release
+tag (currently svn2102.0), I really don't know how to handle this.
