This file is part of Samples directory, which was removed from Debian
(and derivatives, if they use our version) a while ago because of
licensing problems (we could not distribute them under the Debian Free
Software Guidelines):

=====================================
ogre-1.8 (1.8.0+dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove Samples altogether, since almost all of them contain or depend on
    non-free items (fonts and some media objects, see Debian and upstream bug
    report).
    After contacting upstream, they are not inclined to resolve the issue soon
    (read: it will take years and several major releases, if it happens at all).
    All of them are removed and there will be no attempt to track which ones are
    DFSG-compliant; it is quite a burden (thus decreasing the time that can be
    devoted to maintain the package in good shape, follow closely upstream
    updates, etc), and this is even more complicated with different sets of
    samples in every release (as it is the case now, with v1.7 and v1.8 in the
    Debian archive).
    This change encompasses the following actions/changes:
    - Repack the source (simply removing all ./Samples/)
    - Remove patch change_sample_cfg_path.patch, of no use now
    - Remove corresponding sample packages from debian/control
    - Remove files debian/*samples*.install
    - Closes: #684219 ("ogre contains non-free font from larabie collection")

=====================================

Even if the file that you mention was present, other elements of the
Samples could not work because of using either fonts, textures,
scripts or use of nvidia's proprietary libCg library that we cannot
distribute from Debian as free software.


Cheers.
