In this case, that doesn't seem to apply: there is no libOgre.so.1.12.10,
the closest equivalent is libOgreMain.so.1.12.10.

... and as long as upstream (or even the Debian maintainer!) never
removes one of the libraries without bumping the SONAME of the rest.
That situation is what prompted breaking up the Pango and gdk-pixbuf
families of libraries - in each case, upstream removed a deprecated
library in its entirety, resulting in less ABI being provided than had
previously been the case, even though each of the remaining SONAMEs had
an ABI compatible with all its previous versions.
