Bug#784796: blender: NDOF using spacenavd driver works in 2.72 (2014-12-03) but not 2.74 after update

[Simon Budig]

Package: blender
Version: 2.74+dfsg0-2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #784796

Dear Maintainer,

The missing support for spacenaved is most likely related to the package
being built without WITH_INPUT_NDOF=ON (which unfortunately defaults to OFF).

my spacenavd is at version
ii  spacenavd      0.6-1        amd64        daemon for using 3D input devices

The package available at blender.org works with the debian unstable spacenavd
out of the box.

I am right now unable to rebuild the package so I can't really test if adding the -DWITH_INPUT_NDOF=ON to the debian/rules file really fixes it, but I'll gladly give feedback on newer package versions.

Thanks,
        Simon
