Hello,

It has been a long time since the last upload of hdf5 in unstable but
here it is, version 1.8.8 is in unstable!

I need your help with the transition [1].
In most of the cases, a renamed of the build dep libhdf5-serial-dev =>
libhdf5-dev with a rebuild should be enough. Otherwise, don't hesitate
to ping me.

 While it should not impact you much, changes are important [1]:
   * Since upstream is now trying to keep a consistent ABI/API, packages
have been renamed from libhdf5-xxx-X.Y.Z (X, Y and Z being the version
number) to libhdf5-xxx-7 (7 being the version of the soname)
      * The package libhdf5-serial-* have been renamed to libhdf5-7 or
        libhdf5-dev
      * Symbol files have been added for all the libraries.
      * arm archs have also libhdf5-openmpi-dev
      * Support of HURD, armhf & s390x
      * Help is now up to date and the debian/html.tgz.uu removed
        (thanks to the source format v3.0, two source tarballs are now
        used)
      * A new package hdf5-helpers which contains h5cc, h5c++ and h5fc
        has been introduced
      * Fix many lintian warnings
      * Java HDF has been updated to version 2.8

There is the list of the impacted packages, sorted by maintainer is
available at [3] (I am aware that most of you will received duplicate
emails and I apologize).

Thanks for the help,
Sylvestre
