Bug#798178: warzone2100: Major regressions compared to squeeze

[Anton Ivanov]

Package: warzone2100
Version: 3.1.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The new version is unplayable. 

1. Units produced during a remote mission instead of being delivered to 
the factory delivery area of the factory producing them are locked in a 
rock somewhere off-map rendering them unusable as well as rendering most 
preparation strategies unusable. This is an obvious bug and it worked
correctly in the squeeze version.

2. The "nudge your neigbour" in the unit obstacle avoidance algorithm 
does not work. The result is unit deadlock, because units that need to
"give you way" for you to get past them just sit and wait unless moved
manually.

This can be resolved only by picking every unit separately, and moving
them "by hand". They definitely cannot be moved in a formation any more. 
This renders commanders, sensors, etc mostly unusable. You now cannot
retreat a group under command because the "subordinates" will not move 
out of the way for the commander to pass. They will also not move out 
of the way for any damaged units to go for repair. 

Again - this worked in squeeze.

Frankly, can we have the squeeze version recompiled and released as an 
"update", this "improvement" is unplayable.

I am definitely recompiling it locally from squeeze sources as the main 
users (the kids) are revolting that this is unusable.
