  pyogrio - Vectorized spatial vector file format I/O using GDAL/OGR
  .
  Pyogrio provides a GeoPandas-oriented API to OGR vector data sources,
  such as ESRI Shapefile, GeoPackage, and GeoJSON. Vector data sources
  have geometries, such as points, lines, or polygons, and associated 
records
  with potentially many columns worth of data.
  .
  Pyogrio uses a vectorized approach for reading and writing
  GeoDataFrames to and from OGR vector data sources in order to give
  the user a faster interoperability. It uses pre-compiled bindings for
  GDAL/OGR so that the performance is primarily limited by the underlying
  I/O speed of data source drivers in GDAL/OGR rather than multiple steps
  of converting to and from Python data types within Python.
  .
  The user can read these data sources into GeoDataFrames, read just the
  non-geometry columns into Pandas DataFrames, or even read non-spatial
  data sources that exist alongside vector data sources,
  such as tables in a ESRI File Geodatabase, or antiquated DBF files.
  .
  Pyogrio also enables you to write GeoDataFrames to at least a few
  different OGR vector data source formats.

The package will be maintained in debian-gis.
