Bug Description

Binary package hint: warzone2100

Well, this one is easy. Although WZ is in the official repository, the package does not include the videos. They must be separately downloaded from http://wz2100.net/download and placed in the game directory.
I think I know why it is done this way. It helps people with limited bandwidth to enjoy the game and besides, the videos can be downloaded in different quality.
However, the description in the depository did not mention this, and did not have a link to http://wz2100.net/download
Please add this info there, it will help new users get the game up and running quicker.

PS I am using a fully updated Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook Edition to access the game.

2.3.1 just uploaded to Debian changes the package description to notify users of the videos and how to install them. They can't be uploaded to Debian because of the size.
