Extra package cleanup

Goals and ideas

• A cleanup of the extra repository
• Currently we have 352 orphans packages in [extra]
• Reduce the packaging work load of the developers
• Minimise the number of apps per task
• TUs are easier to appoint and find, it makes sense to move some of the workload to the community repo
• Games should all go to community (except those that come with KDE and Gnome)
