Bug#705181: libogre-dev: can libogre-dev use boost libraries of 1.49 and above

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: libogre-dev
Version: 1.7.4+dfsg1-7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
      Libogre-dev has depends given as :-

Depends: libogre-1.7.4 (= 1.7.4+dfsg1-7), libboost-date-time1.49-dev,
libboost-thread1.49-dev, libfreeimage-dev,
libfreetype6-dev,libzzip-dev, libxaw7-dev

Now the libboost libraries have hardcoded values as to which version.
Could it be done so that the library can depend on other versions as
well (for e.g. the 1.50 version which came into unstable/sid a while
back). This and one another library are the blocks for 1.50 to have
free rein on my system, if possible please fix it.
