Please backport wesnoth-1.8 (1:1.8-3ubuntu1/universe)

[Rhonda D'Vine]

wesnoth-1.8 is a new stable upstream version and it would be more than convenient to have it available for karmic users, too. The regular wesnoth package (1.6 branch) isn't compatible with the new stable wesnoth branch 1.8 for multiplayers and people start to switch on a regular basis these days.

From a quick cowbuilder start it looks like there is no need to change any of the Build-Depends, so the source can be taken as is from lucid.

Did build it inside my karmic chroot and tested inside there, too. Works well. :)

Would be great if other people could test it, too!

I did a short test of the backport packages provided by Gerfried. Played first three scenarios of 'Tale of Two Brothers' campaign. Didn't face any problem.
