+Mupen64Plus supports a single data directory and a single plugin directory in
+its configuration, yet we need data and plugin files from a variety of
+packages. The best way to deal with this is to install all packages from
+which data and plugin files are needed into one's profile, and point the
+configuration there. Hence, the ui-console package provides propagated inputs
+for packages with the most important data and plugin files, and this patch
+provides the user instructions on what needs to be done in order to have
+Mupen64Plus find the relevant data and plugins.
