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.
