Technically yes, in practice I haven't had time to get funguloids to a
point where I'm comfortable putting out a new release. If you would like
to join upstream I would be happy to add you. I wanted to complete the
following before making a new upstream release.

      * Drop the mpak format and use a directory structure, I have a WIP
        local branch for this.
      * Drop them embedded code copy of SimpleIni and switch to
        Ogre::ConfigFile, I have a WIP local branch for this.
      * Check if any of the bugs/wishlists/support issues are easy to
        fix and still apply, fix them.

In light of the upstream status documented above, I would suggest to add
the patch switching to OGRE 1.9 to upstream git, add it to Debian and
upload a new Debian revision.
