Thanks for your feedback.
I had serveral reasons why I started this way:
  * I guessed it would be easier to do a split before adding more packages
  * Classifying packages in .scm files makes them easier to find
  * And it would be a commitment from me to provide these packages

However - of course I have no problem in adding them to games.scm

Stefan.
