Bug#689426: libgdal-dev: depend on other libhdf flavors?

[David Bronaugh]

This affects me as well. I have reported a similar bug against cdo, 
which also depends on a specific variant of hdf5 (libhdf7-openmpi-7). 
The fact that they depend on mutually exclusive versions of HDF5 means 
that libgdal1-dev and cdo cannot be installed on the same system using 
the debian package management system, which is a rather serious problem.

It would seem that changing the packages to depend on libhdf5-dev would 
fix this neatly. Please fix this as soon as possible, as this causes 
real operational problems for us, and has obviously been a problem for 
quite some time.

Thank you,
