It doesn't have a maintainer.

I reassigned the bug to cegui-mk2 because it was changed incompatibly
during the freeze.  However, at this point presumably neither ogre nor
cegui-mk2 will be updated in etch so I suppose ogre could be updated in
sid.

I noticed something odd now.  The only thing that build-depends on
cegui-mk2 is ogre.  But *nothing* in etch depends on libcegui-mk2*.
Somehow, whatever code in ogre uses it is not included in the binary
packages... ah, yes, it's sample code.  Maybe it should be disabled
altogether in the Debian package.
