We decided that we would wait a bit to see if the last -rc became
final, to avoid unneeded breakages/binNMUs, etc. in the case that they
changed the ABI or even API again. This was also partially motivated
because of the breakage in alioth which happened around that time.
I don't know if Alberto knows the plans of upstream (maybe a Christmas
present? :-) ), but I think that the last -rc was almost 2 months ago,
3.2.1~rc1 released 3 Oct, at which point they said 3.2.1 was planned for
mid-October and would not break ABI (from 3.2.0, there was a break from
3.2.0~rc1 to 3.2.0):

Since then, there have been several commits to the 3.2 branch
(https://github.com/openscenegraph/osg/commits/OpenSceneGraph-3.2), but
no new ~rc or revised estimate. It would be a good idea to ask them
before waiting any longer.
the more that it goes on the most likely that they disrupt something.
I agree that the delay may mean they've found a major bug, and that we
hence probably shouldn't upload 3.2.1~rc1, but we don't need that to fix
this bug: we can use either 3.2.0 + all patches
(http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-osg/pkg-osg.git;a=commit;h=22a14b36635a2736b6e6d22a3003eace10f68071)
for soname 100 (i.e. only one round of binNMUs) or 3.2.0~rc1 + just this
patch for soname 99 (i.e. avoid new-queue for now).
