I had the very same problem as Andreas last night when trying to build
qgis against experimental gdal & openscengraph last night. libhdf5-8 is
the latest version in unstable. libhdf5-7 is no longer available.

I also had the problem with libjpeg in my pbuilder.

Anyway, qgis can wait a bit. There are a few of these new lintian errors
to fix anyway!
