Sorry Jordan, not anymore.  I just fixed it.

I typically run an `aptitude full-upgrade` on two Squeeze machines I have at 
home.  Two days ago wesnoth came down, and my desktop machine wanted to update 
wesnoth, but delete all of the campaigns without replacing them.  I figured 
that the campaigns just hadn't come down yet and aborted the upgrade.

Then after reading AG's message I ssh'd home and tried it again.  Aptitude 
wanted to do the same thing so I replied to the mailing list.  

After sending my reply I was still curious so I did an `apt-cache policy 
wesnoth-trow` and could see the new version as a candidate.  Then I checked and 
saw that the campaigns had been downloaded by cron-apt and were sitting in 
/var/cache/apt/archives.

So I tried an `apt-get dist-upgrade` and that updated the core wesnoth files 
AND the campaigns.

So there was some issue with aptitude not liking the campaigns, but apt-get 
resolved it.

I don't use the curses interface to aptitude, I just use it like apt-get with 
command line arguments so I'm 99.9% sure I didn't set a hold on the packages, 
etc.  But it works now.  :)
