I've just uploaded -5 to debian which moves the wad dependencies to Recommends:. I received one comment on the games list which was an affirmative.
Whether or not ubuntu decides to use game-data-packager or not is up to you folks, of course. If you opt not to, there's a patch in -5 which adds some descriptive text to the "IWAD not found" error recommending the package - you may want to drop that if it does not exist in the same repo as prboom in ubuntu.
