-rwxr-x---  1 root games     72 Oct 22 16:52 /usr/games/bin/blackshades

blackshades is a wrapper script and blackshades-bin is an executable.

Running blackshades-bin directly doesn't work which is why I wonder why is it
installed in the bin directory in the first place. I think it should be moved to
/usr/share/games/blackshades-cvs if you want to use the wrapper script.

blackshades-bin is installed in the bin directory because it's a bin and you can
run it however you like.  It only does things if it finds the right data files
but maybe you have your set you'd like to use and because it's installed, you
can do that.  Putting the binary in /usr/share doesn't make any sense since it's
not a "shareable" file.  The point of the wrapper is that the user has an
expected way of running the game available to them.  If you remerge from a
recent portage sync, you'll even get a desktop entry.  Wheee.

WONTFIX.
