Bug Description
To install the game "Battle for Wesnoth", one can install the "wesnoth-all" package. But then, he doesn't get: 1) The "Map Editor", a fact which is probably OK. 2) The "Wesnoth Server" (wesnothd), a fact which is not that harmful. 3) Any sounds for the game, a fact which is totally unacceptable (you have to explicitly install the package "wesnoth-music" to have any music or sound in the game). And all these issues apply for the package "wesnoth-all", as I said. The package "wesnoth" is far worse. Since you install it, you don't get any of these above, plus much more (like the basic game scenarios!). So, I suggest a better packaging is made for "Battle for Wesnoth". For example the package "wesnoth" could be renamed to "wesnoth-core" and the packages "wesnoth-all" and "wesnoth-music" (and maybe "wesnoth-editor" and "wesnoth-server") could be merged to a single package, called "wesnoth". Thank you for your time, and I wish you good luck.
