Yes, the only parts not available from debian repositories were
libbullet (I have packaged version of it myself), libgigi, and
freeorion itself.
Turned out that my debian -directory for freeorion requires freeorion
checkout. I tried to make source package out of svn export, and cmake
complained about not being in svn checkout. Bullet and libgigi source
packages are available from http://build.cazfi.net/deb/src
I'll make debian directory of my freeorion packaging available somehow.
One thing you may find hard to implement properly is that you have to
generate config file containing path to correct ogre plugin directory.
It's not only multiarch issue (I've taken care of that part) but
directory name seems to have also version number of the installed ogre
version in it: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.7.4/
