I'm using both wesnoth.org and unstable as a source for the wesnoth{,-data}
packages for my testing box. The box is configured such that unstable
packages are only ever installed or upgraded on explicit request. The
wesnoth.org line is a recent addition that does not completely fit in this
original policy, and that seems to be the source of this problem.
I've upgraded the packages to the w.o version yesterday, and then the same
version entered unstable. Now apt-get and aptitude both claim they mush
upgrade the wesnoth-data package to the same version than that installed,
although it does not seem apt-get will really do it:
# apt-cache policy wesnoth-data

As you see, wesnoth-data is not in the URIs, although it's listed in the
"will be upgraded". Now I cannot understand why the wesnoth package is not
given the same handling...
If I remove the w.o line or the unstable one from my sources.list that
behaviour goes away. It comes back when I re-add those 2 lines.

You probably already have the package in your cache (so it won't be listed
in --print-uris). The reason for the package being reinstalled is likely
that two packages have the same version number but are actually different.
This is a bug in the unofficial packages.
