+Tag: global-data-in-games-directory
+Severity: error
+Check: games
+Explanation: This package contains files under <code>/usr/share/games</code>, such as
+ desktop files, icons, pixmaps, or MIME type entries, that are global
+ system data. The user's desktop environment will only check in the
+ directories directly under <code>/usr/share</code> and this information
+ should be put in the global directory even if it is for games.
+ .
+ The most common cause of this problem is using a
+ <code>--datadir=/usr/share/games</code> argument to configure or an
+ equivalent and using the upstream installation rules. These files need
+ to be moved into the corresponding directories directly under
+ <code>/usr/share</code>.
