OK, you got one.  It looks like there used to be a Fedora package for
it, but not anymore -- not sure why.  This might qualify it in the
"not worth packaging" since it overlaps with another package in the
repo, but I suspect you won't agree... :-)

FWIW prboom is available.  You'll also need the original WADs from
ID or the freedoom package instead.

Anyway, thanks for producing a fact rather than relying on some
vague anecdote.
