The concept of high-score tables on multi-user systems was maybe a thing 
in 1998, but the time has come to kill it. XBill is not the only game 
available anymore on a classic Debian install, users can compete on 
other stuff that doesn't requires setgid binaries.

We (GamesTeam) should be actively working on removing setgid games and 
remove §11.11 from the Policy.
(If the consensus goes this way, I pledge to actively work on this and 
not leave this cleanup work to others)
