Bug Description
Binary package hint: wesnoth
I know that its possible to technically have wesnoth installed with no campaigns, but this is a very bad idea. Wesnoth (not wesnoth-data) should _recommend_ (not suggest) that at least one campaign be installed. This is likely to confuse new users, and experienced onces as well - and already has, because I've gotten a few "help me's!" with it already.
Installing wesnoth without any campaigns is offering a game with severly reduced functionality (and the tutorial doesn't count).

I installed wesnoth and it took me ages to figure out why clicking "Campaign" had no effect -- because there were no campaigns installed. I had installed Wesnoth with Add/Remove... (on Edgy) and there are no campaign packages visible there. If I had used synaptic I would probably have noticed them.
So I think this bug would be solved by listing the campaigns in Add/Remove... and by updating the description of the Wesnoth package to indicate that campaigns should also be installed.
