[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 903121] Re: crystalspace 1.4.0+dfsg-4ubuntu2 fails to build with cegui-mk2 0.7.5-7

[Philip Wyett]

Dear release team,

Could you consider and exception to allow version 2.0 of Crystal Space
into the next release?

The update to 2.0 is required due to:

  - 1.4 series is an old release. Years old.
  - 1.4 series does not support the latest cegui (see comments above).
  - The Crystal Space project will not port to support the latest cegui in 1.4, due to API changes etc. in such an old releases series.
    (see comments above).
  - 2.0 supports the latest cegui.
  - 2.0 is more stable than 1.4.
  - 2.0 has more features.
  - 2.0 fully supports ARM builds.

A fully tested 2.0 in ubuntu will have no direct impact on the overall
OS.

Please ask if any other additional info is required.
