Hi Manuel,
I want to clarify the transition schedule so I know what you want us
depending packages to build against:

after Wheezy release:
libogre-dev will be removed
libogre1.7-devremoved
libogre1.9-dev added
libogre1.8-dev will be version 1.8.1 (I guess binNMU depending
packages that depend on libogre1.8.0?)

prior to jesse release:
libogre1.8-dev removed

so after wheezy, no more libogre-dev and depending packages should
build against one of the librogre1.*-dev
but prior to jessie, all packages will migrate over to libogre1.9-dev

If this is true, I can build mygui against libogre1.8-dev. I'm going
to be away from keyboard for a bit, if you need to do an NMU please go
ahead with a low-threshold. If it's still outstanding when I get back,
then I'll just take care of it.

~Scott
