If you're need the PDAL 1.5.0 packages on stretch, you'll need to
backport the pdal & python-pdal packages from testing for stable which
involves rebuilding the package in a stretch environment.

The same goes if you're using jessie, but then you should really
consider upgrading to stretch first.

The process to backport packages in documented in the team policy:

 https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-backports

If there is sufficient demand for PDAL backports, I'll provide those for
stretch-backports.

Kind Regards,

Bas
