(Get the code!)
There was major rework of the 1.8 package to make it possible to install it side-by-side with the former wesnoth packages (1.6 series) and potential future branches (upcoming 1.9 branch and later stable releases). This rework is mostly finished - but not complete with respect to offering alternative handling for being able to start "wesnoth" instead of explicitly have to start "wesnoth-1.8", which also requires to add dpkg-diverts for the former unversioned wesnoth packages.
Also, the official server didn't drop the 1.6 clients yet and from what I know it isn't planned to do that too soon. If I'm not totally mistaken one can even still connect with 1.4 clients to the official server, so there is nothing to fear from that part.
