Comment 4 for bug 2596

Attal from Ubuntu dapper is *very* outdated and almost not playable (in this old version tavern is not implemented and there are no way to recruit new hero :( ) and latest upstream version looks good and is playable (I've tested your packages from http://ixios-software.com/~lfittl/ubuntu-pkg/attal/ - recompiled these on ubuntu breezy and they works really better, than current ubuntu packages).
Upstream Version Freeze for Ubuntu 6.04 (Dapper) shouldn't couse problems with updating attal, because "first phase of our progressive freeze means that no new upstream versions of packages should be uploaded *without* *prior* *approval*". (look at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-January/000057.html ). So you should just ask for approval and tell, that current attal in ubuntu isn't playable.
