 Actually it is available in lucid. See rather "apt-cache policy
wesnoth". You seem to have enabled lucid-backports and pulled in wesnoth
from there because the wesnoth package in lucid actually is at version
1:1.6.5-1. See the version overview on packages.ubuntu.com:
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/wesnoth>

 You will have to downgrade the wesnoth package explicitly to the
version from lucid. Given that you used aptitude search I hope you are
familiar with the aptitude interface. When you search for wesnoth in
there, press v to view all versions. Then press + on the 1.6.5 version
explicitly. It might well be that you'll have to then clear up some
broken packages through that move, and I hope it won't mark other
packages for removal, but that should be possible to work out without
too much trouble.

 Enjoy!
