The author of BootAtor provides a script which checks if sortdesk is 
installed (only works with the latest version of sortdesk afaik)
this script can easily be modified to check for version 0.2 of sortdesk 
and place the icons in the correct cetegory (i described how to use 
flaunch &sortdsk 0.2 with the nEo theme on jmccloud.jm.funpic.de) some 
people are using it, i dunno if it is worth the work though.

but what might be worth half an hour of script writing is to check if 
launcher is installed and add the games to the corresponding category, 
or at least lets th euser choose on install in which category the icons 
should be placed (very few lines of sqlite in the script).
if this script accepts user input wether the icons shoudl be placed in a 
launcher category, udating will also work very well since the user can 
choose if he wants the icons to be placed in any launche category or 
not. if the user updates the games collection and simply chooses "no" 
nothign is changed in launcher sqlite database an everythign si still in 
order.

i cannot really contribute myself, because the last time i worked with 
sql was some years ago and i currently use gprs to connect to teh 
internet and researchign would take ages.
if nothign is doen within the next 4 weeks i could do it (i shoudl have 
broadband internet till then)

this si just a suggestion that can be applied to any package. (or at 
least packages like oh-puzzles or metapackages which install lots of 
apps at once with lots of icons)

or package a scrip in aseperate package, to categorize apps from 
commandline, which woudl be much faster than doing it in launcher if you 
have many icons that need the same category (note the last launcer 
version i used was 0.2 or something like that i dunno how user friendly 
categorizing has become since then)
