Looking at boost1.53 transition in ubuntu[1] at the moment. It's probably as best as I can prepare the transition. There are still a few FTBFS in ubuntu but the numbers of those are quite low.
Looking at the blocking bugs in Debian, most of them are easy & quick uploads once the transtition starts. I would request to ignore ogre & it's reverse dependencies at the moment. To support, boost1.53 ogre needs a soname bump to a version 1.8.1 or higher. And the maintainer expressed to transition straight to ogre 1.9 when that becomes available.[2] There are a couple blocking issues - e.g. in boost itself & recent possible breakage in gcc-4.8. But apart from those, I'd like to request start of the transition soonish. (pending any other overlapping transitions and such like).
