Since this version, I decided to lean to compiled packages for Debian, so as to reduce errors.

Not assure you that in the future continue to package, but before I leave I will understand if you can add this change also on the official repositories and will warn you.

Given the change in the packages must remove the old version with:
 # apt-get remove wesnoth-unstable
and install the new one.

I end by reminding you that you can download packages from here.
