-i
attempt to install the generated Debian package via dpkg(1) and su(1)
-d out-directory

-n
Do not attempt to install the generated Debian package. This option must be used in conjunction with -d.
-z | --compress
Compress generated .deb (default unless -i is used)
--no-compress
Do not compress generated .deb (default with -i)
game
The game being packaged. Running game-data-packager without arguments will display a list of valid games. Running game-data-packager with just the game and no further arguments will display a list of valid options for that game.
