And for gnome-photos you expect a collection of photos?

The application is part of the "Finding and Reminding" collection of
applications for GNOME. It would appear as "Games" in GNOME. Once you
namespace it, it's gnome-games.

Call the package what you want, it doesn't matter, users should be able
to install this application through Software.

Or, even better, distributors would ship it in Games, and point towards
the Games section of Software when you have no games installed.
