1.6.7 is already packaged on our svn repository. The 1.8.0 is still
not ready but it will require a suitable staging area to check
if it does not create problems to hdf5 reverse deps. I'm not 
inclined to have in the archive both 1.8 and 1.6, it would
be better if other upstreams would move to the new API, it requires
time. For sure both libs are due post-lenny anyway.
