Please create a "blender-player" subpackage, which would contain only the /usr/bin/blenderplayer, so that BGE games would not have to depend on whole blender package. BGE player is selfstanding, and doesn't need anything else from the blender package. Unfortunatelly, I am not sure whether blender editor needs it nor not. Thanks a lot!
Should be done in blender-2.48a-16
