Even if I am not happy about this change, it is expected.
libnetcdf-dev depends on libnetcdf7 which depends on libhdf5-7.
libhdf5-openmpi-7 conflicts with libhdf5-7.

Before I had the silly idea to become a hdf5 maintainer, I reported this
bug myself #591346.
For now, I haven't find the right solution to tackle this issue ... 
Suggestions are welcome.

No, it doesn't. 
There is a confusion between the name of the "Provides:" libhdf5-7
and the package name "also" libhdf5-7.
