Comment (by mdean):

 Plugin settings should not be initialized in MythTV (core) dbcheck.
 Rather it's up to the plugin to create necessary settings.  This can be
 done either by calling a function in mythplugin_init() to check and pre-
 populate settings (so it is done when the frontend is started on a
 particular host) or by handling non-existent settings within the code that
 uses them (either by specifying default values in the GetSetting() calls
 or by using a conditional to check values).

 Furthermore, fixes should be made in MythGame itself, not in a packaging
 script used only by debian-based system packagers.
