Paul, I have the vague recollection that you became upstream of this
package, is that right?

What do you think of upstreaming this change, or at least use it in a
new debian revision, to migrate to OGRE 1.9?  As explained in the bug
report, I would like to get rid of the long discontinued 1.8 ASAP, if
possible before the upcoming stable Jessie.


Cheers.
