 This package uses quilt for its patch management, see
 /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source if you are unfamiliar with it.

+Upstream ships their tarballs as .tar.bz2 files - which the Debian pool
+unfortunately doesn't like (yet). All I do with them is piping them
+through bzcat and gzip, like this for e.g. the 1.4.3 release:
+bzcat wesnoth-1.4.3.tar.bz2 | gzip --best -c > wesnoth_1.4.3.orig.tar.gz
