--- Comment #2 from Jan Kundrát <j...@kde.org> ---
Several factors are involved here:

- https://wiki.debian.org/GCC5 introduced an extra package suffix to cope with
the changed ABI required by GCC's STL which became incompatible with C++11

- While Debian has mimetic in its regular repositories, that is not the case
with Ubuntu. Ubuntu only has this in Universe. However, OBS doesn't allow
access to Ubuntu Universe packages, so we have to build Mimetic ourselves.

- Our bundled Mimetic package must remain compatible with Debian Jessie at
least until (some time after) Stretch will have been released (and made
available via OBS).

If you have experience with Debian packaging, handling the GCC 5 C++11 ABI
change, and can provide a patch/request on OBS which handles this while still
preserving compatibility with current Debian, patches are welcome.

Can you perhaps in the meanwhile give priority to the OBS version of Mimetic?
