 Actually, I can't follow you. There is no supported Ubuntu release that
can *not* connect to the official servers. Can you please be more
specific on which version of wesnoth you are speaking about?

 While saying that, 1.6 servers might go away upstream wise during the
lifetime of lucid. I am willing to provide backports of the later stable
releases if that would be acceptable to solve this bug. Actually that
would be the only option to provide that because the official server
won't even host 1.8 stable release forever, and this will happen again
for the subsequent releases.

  Other than this, I fear the Ubuntu project/Canonical is not
able/willing to afford to provide a server that would host network
games. So running a server on your own to host network games for older
releases is the only option you've got.

 Enjoy,
Rhonda
