Thanks for the report and the suggestion. I patched ogre-1.9 at the time (for arm64, mips64el and ppc64le), and submitted the patch upstream. I did not imagine that ogre-1.8 would survive for so long in unstable, ogre-1.9 has been out for a year now, and all development and bugfixes in 1.8 were stopped long before that. By the time that the next Debian stable is released, there would have been no support from upstream more than a year, so I don't even know if it's very wise to ship 1.8 in the next stable release. The packages depending on 1.8 at the moment are: - leaf packages (funguloids, and ember -- which is obsolete since long ago, 0.7 has been out for close to two years) - libogre-perl (I guess that these bindings to develop OGRE from Perl; which, if it does not target the most recent versions of OGRE, is of little use) - cegui, also needing an update for more than a year (a transition to newer versions has been ignored for a long time: #732763). cegui itself is not available neither in arm64 nor in ppc64el (unmet dependencies), and it also will fail to build from source once the deps are available (#758528). So, in summary, I don't think that any of these packages are particularly important to have in a stable port of a new architecture like arm64, because all of them are quite outdated and with very few installations. So, all in all, I think that it's better to not attempt to fix this bug, and possibly make it RC (once arm64 is accepted as release architecture) to try to nudge packages to move to the newer 1.9.
