>Description:
Many packages in the games section have hard-coded user and/group "games". Such 
user/group might not exist nor be desirable on some non-NetBSD systems.
The following packages (at least) seem to be affected:

angband-tty
angband-x11
crossfire-cli
crossfire-srv
genecys-data
gnome-breakout
iso-pernangband
jetpack
maelstrom-x11
mirrormagic-sdl
nighthawk
omega
rollemup
svb
ularn
xboing
xpat2
xscrabble
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Make the user/group configurable by introducing respective variables (which 
might default to "games"), as has already been done for some packages in the 
mail section.
