Comment 5 for bug 993773

Traditionally in Debian systems, not all options are enabled by default if they happen to contain or require non-free pieces of code; or some other problems. For example, Adobe Flash or some drivers are not supported or are kept in non-free. I would hardly call Firefox faulty and that shouldn't be shipped in a release for not being able to show some pages with flash content.

I don't know what's Ubuntu policy on that, but anyway I'm not involved in Ubuntu -- they just happen to import my package directly. If they ship a version of a software without 100% coverage that everything works perfectly, it's probably due to lack of manpower. Help is welcome. Every software company or group release software with problems sometimes, even if they only ship core-OS software and not the gazillion of software that Debian, Ubuntu and other distros support; and most of them are mostly (or completely) run by volunteers.

Other than that, OGRE is quite functional for many purposes, and especially for games that we plan to use inside Debian. If you want/need a especial version, it's very easy to recompile and get things working. Just install libCg, download the source deb, and re-run debian/rules.

Cheers.
