Bug#586291: wesnoth-1.8: Please rename to wesnoth and remove older versions

[Andreas Tille]

Package: wesnoth-1.8
Severity: normal


Hi,

I would regard it as highly confusing if the new version of a program is
hidden behind a version number and I stick to the old version after an
upgrade.  It took me some time to realise that we actually have wesnoth
1.8 in Debian (I admit I was not particularly interested).  Morover I
really fail to see any reason why Debian should provide different
versions of random games.  So I would strongly suggest to replace the
wesnoth packages of version 1.6 by the packages which are now named
wesnoth-1.8.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
