Please double-check that the build package keeps references to all these
inputs with $(guix gc --reference $(./pre-inst-env guix build
megaglest)).

We can leave out the phrase "entertaining free and open source". Games
are expected to be entertaining, and all Guix packages are free
software, so we don't mention it.

Overall LGTM pending the change to the data file source tarball and the
reference check for megaglest.
