Bug#994617: h5py: please be more forgiving about mismatching HDF5 versions

Package: python3-h5py
Version: 3.3.0-2
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer,

I'm currently seeting this while running a python's package testsuite:

=============================== warnings summary ===============================
../../../../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/h5py/_debian_h5py_serial/__init__.py:36

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/h5py/_debian_h5py_serial/__init__.py:36: UserWarning: h5py is running against HDF5 1.10.7 when it was built against 1.10.6, this may cause problems
    _warn(("h5py is running against HDF5 {0} when it was built against {1}, "


-- Docs: https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/warnings.html


Now, whilst I appreciate that might be true for really different
versions, the concept of ABI is there for a reason, and I trust the
Debian's package version restrictions to prevent me from installing a
combination of hdf5 and h5py that is incompatible.

As such, I'd ask if you could either disable that warning, or at least
make it emit is only when there is a really different version that could
indeed cause problem.

Thank you.
