I was't thinking about conflicts with other packages.  I was worried
that some users might not like a game RPM setting itself up to run
after reboot.

Is this something you wrote?  If so, you should probably stick it into
the netrek script and add a comment "#should move to a separate file".
With luck RH will bundle the netrek RPMs with new releases and they'll
bless the name "functions-games".
