This bug can now be fixed in Ubuntu by syncing Intrepid to prboom 2:2.4.7+dfsg-5. I have tested this package and it works just fine. With the wad recommends not satisfied:
IdentifyVersion: IWAD not found
prboom requires a doom data ("IWAD") file to use.
please install one, either freedoom or a package built
using game-data-packager.
This is expected, and a useful message. Thanks Jon.
With respect to game-data-packager, I believe that once this is in Debian Sid, it will be brought into Ubuntu for the next version (9.04). Manual intervention will be needed to bring it into Intrepid; I'll keep an eye out for it :-).
