typo: you can reduce the effects of that breakage by having
libogre-1.9-dev DEPEND on libboost-dev, thus forcing those users to
also upgrade their code/compilation to the new versions of boost as
well.


update: 99.2% of the packages in the archive build against
boost-defaults (libboost-dev). Every library in the archive except one
builds against boost-defaults. The one that does not only compiles
against boost > 1.54 and thus is manually set. They are probably going
to switch to libboost-dev now that debian is at 1.55. That means that
any package that depends on ogre-1.9 and also depends on any other
library that is an rdepends of boost will FTBFS.
