We won't remove anything or try to adapt in GCompris directly for political
reasons else it will become a nightmare to handle all the cases and

You can remove the geography activity at build time using: cmake
-DUSE_geography=OFF ..., this should allow you to create the
gcompris-morocco package without the geography activity
