Simple renaming worked on my "~x86" system. I haven't noticed nothing
suspicious so far.

I agree that Wesnoth woul need more "love", but I don't qualify as
official maintainer of Wesnoth package simply because I have never
looked into the code. But if "let's try to rename ebuild and see what
happens when the new version is released", I'll be glad to help by
sending reports to this list.
