I raised the severity to "important", because I plan to ship Jessie
with ogre-1.9 only.

As said in the original but report, ogre-1.8 is not supported by
upstream by now (almost a year), and it is already showing problems
(like not building in the new architectures being added), so it will
be quite a burden to support it in a Debian stable cycle when it's an
unsupported version before the freeze, and having to do things
duplicated for 1.8 and 1.9.


Cheers.
