Thanks for those, that should help people enjoy nexuiz until new
packages are available.

I've applied the last solution (with the attached patch) and it seems to
work fine for me, at the very least in the instant action and in the
(solo) campaign modes. As for network games, I guess newer servers may
reject older clients, but that probably gets displayed when entering or
trying to enter the game, switching the green “foo and bar versions are
compatible” to a red one or whatever, so people will know what's wrong.

I guess it'd make sense to have this fix put ASAP in unstable, so that
it gets some days of testing, before proposing it for a stable upload.

Note that the affected package is actually nexuiz-data, but I guess it
would make sense to keep this bug (or at least one) open against nexuiz
for visibility.

Mraw,
KiBi.
