It seems we have three reverse dependencies that are not games.

Some games are not maintained by Games Team.

guichan looks even more stale than Allegro4 and c/should be removed first

Reverse-Depends
===============
* alex4
* atanks
* ballz
* excellent-bifurcation
* garden-of-coloured-lights
* kball
* kraptor
* libdevil1c2 : could be compiled without Allegro support ? Does the 5
transitive deps need Allegro ?
  * info-beamer : not a game
  * libcegui-mk2-0.8.7t64 : should be removed
  * photoqt : not a game
  * pink-pony
  * spring
* libguichan-allegro-0.8.1-1v5
   * ballz  (again)
   * rlvm and mokomaze does not depends on
libguichan-allegro-0.8.1-1v5, but well on libguichan-sdl-0.8.1-1v5
which depends on SDL1
* liquidwar
* open-invaders
* overgod
* rafkill
* scantool : not a game "Car OBD scanner"
* stax
* wing
