+Notes about the soname scheme in Debian and in the upstream release
+*******************************************************************
+
+The upstream developers decided to use libtool's -release scheme for the soname
+which would have caused every application developed using the upstream release
+to break after every revision. With Debian, it's been decided to go back with 
using libtool's -version-info scheme as was used in previous upstream releases 
and to use
+"14" as the major number, one up from "13" which was used in ogre 1.2.5.
+
+This means that anything compiled with the upstream version of ogre will be 
looking for a library called "libOgreMain-1.4.x.so", different from what the 
Debian modified version of ogre will provide, which is "libOgreMain.so.14.x.x". 
Thus any application compiled using the upstream version of ogre will have to 
be recompiled using the Debian version to be able to run on Debian systems.
