As far as I'm aware, /usr/games is in PATH by default (aside from
root), so end users who don't tinker with their PATH should be able to
start 0ad without a problem.

However, I admit that the cause of this bug is one of my
Debian-specific patches. Upstream simply hardcodes the path to 0ad's
pyrogenesis engine (see source at [1]), which I believe is an
inflexible and inappropriate solution (and I had to patch the file
anyways since the Debian 0ad package installs pyrogenesis into
/usr/games, as per Debian Policy).

There's an ongoing discussion about this issue in upstream's bug
tracker [2]. If there's anything that's relevant that neither I nor
upstream has considered yet, please feel free to point it out. :)

Regards,
Vincent
