Sorry that I closed this bug, I was mistaken it from one of the other
related ones requiring packages B-D-ing on OGRE to upgrade.

Upgrading OGRE to 1.8.1 would maybe require to change the SOVERSION
and binary package name, having to go through ftp-new queue.  1.9-rc1
is already out, I think that it would be better to go with this one.

I think that from your boost-transition POV, until all OGRE and their
dependencies are removed, you cannot get rid of 1.49.  But if you only
want to move boost-defaults from 1.49 to 1.53 [1], all these packages
are not a problem -- we depend specifically on 1.49, for the reasons
stated in my first reply to this bug report.

So if you change libboost-thread-dev to point to
libboost-thread1.53-dev from 1.49, none of these packages (ogre and
packages using it) will be affected.  Is this correct, or I am missing
something?  Did OGRE packages fail to build in hist tests of #704032?


Cheers.

[1] from #704032:
I would like to change Debian's default boost version from 1.49 to
1.53 or later -- likely to the most current Boost at the time the
transition is scheduled.  This change does not directly impact any
binary packages.  However, it will affect the buildability of source
packages.
