Thanks for the update, Axel. Perhaps we could make an effort to get it to compile with ogre-1.9, but even this version is oldish and I expect that we will have soon 1.10 and 2.x, most probably requiring even more changes to rev-depends. The lack of upstream development is indeed a concern, and the popcon usage is low (I wonder if anybody is indeed developing with libogre-perl), so I think that it's probably not very worth to try to keep it alive for another release cycle. OIS is not completely OGRE-dependent, but I guess that most of the projects using it come from the OGRE world -- OIS was once part of OGRE. That said, if it works, no reason to remove it.
