Thanks for the guidance - I created a game-data-packager merge
request[1] to add a quadrilateralcowboy-data package entry, and that
change has been accepted (although I would still like to confirm that
the game data checksums are consistent across the available
distribution channels).

Packaging for the game's engine (using section: contrib/games) is
coming together in a separate Salsa repository[2], and I'll follow
some of the Debian mentorship guidelines to progress that.
