Bug Description

Sadly, latest openscenegraph changed the API and flightgear now FTBFS. The old library libopenscenegraph160 is currently held up as an NBS because of flightgear. Debian had the same problem and their solution was the removal of flightgear from testing (it's sill in unstable though, weird - looks like it was twice removed from testing for some reason).

I think the only logical way to go forward is to do the same. No use in keeping around packages that are broken - we can get it autosynced once the new upstream version gets packaged.

Sadly, this also means we have to deal with flightgear-phi, the only reverse-recommends of fligthgear. This one will also have to be removed and then pulled in once the new flightgear is available. Its popcon value is relatively low, so hopefully not too many people will be sad.
