libgdal1-grass is built from a separate source package from gdal to
avoid a circular dependency problem with grass, since grass
build-depends on gdal. You need to create an orig.tar.gz tarball with
just the grass driver as described here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.pkg.general/732

You can download the libgdal-grass source package destined for unstable
from mentors.debian.net as a starting point.
