Bug#989344: ogre-1.12: diff for NMU version 1.12.10+dfsg2-1.1

[Olek Wojnar]

Hi Jochen,

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to fix those issues!
And an extra thank you for speaking with the release team already! I always
get very nervous with significant package changes this close to a release.
Are you also planning to file an unblock bug or would you like Simon (or
me) to take care of that?

As Simon's sponsor, I'd like to point out that his packaging was rather
reasonable for a typical library. It is *extremely unusual* for a package
to lose backwards-compatibility across _bugfix versions_! As I recall,
upstream notified us of their rather unusual backwards-compatibility policy
quite recently and I believe I recommended to Simon to not make a major
versioning change like that this close to release. I was also not aware at
the time that another package depended on the 1.12.x series of OGRE. So,
for the record, I certainly bear a good part of the responsibility for this
being an issue so close to release.

Thanks again for the assistance and apologies for the issues this caused in
rviz!
