Ah that's sad, CEGUI is already at version 0.8.4 upstream, and the 0.7.x branch even has a 0.7.9. I guess Debian is again overly conservative with this (the 0.8.x branch includes API and ABI breakage).

I know two games that would need CEGUI 0.8.x to be packaged: opendungeons and sumwars 0.5.8. On the other hand Super Maryo Chronicles still uses CEGUI 0.7.x, but you don't seem to provide it anyway (if you want to look into it, check TSC which is a fork of the abandoned SMC and is reaching a 2.0.0 release: https://github.com/Secretchronicles/TSC )

So apart from packaging CEGUI 0.8.x with a different name (like libcegui0-dev since the new SONAME is libCEGUI-0.so.2), there is no way for you to package opendungeons or the new sumwars indeed. Feel free to ping me if you want to package the new CEGUI, I've done it for Mageia so I have some experience with its buildsystem.
