Subject: gis-devel: recommends libcitygml-dev, libemos-dev, libhdf4-alt-dev and libogdi-dev which are not in unstable
Package: gis-devel
Version: 0.0.22
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package gis-devel recommends libcitygml-dev, libemos-dev,
libhdf4-alt-dev and libogdi-dev, which are currently not available in
unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libcitygml-dev : dropped from testing 
  on 2025-09-10
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libemos-dev : removed from testing
  (2026-02-02, perhaps will re-appear?)
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libhdf4-alt-dev : the source package
  libhdf4 does not generate any binary named libhdf4-alt-dev . Perhaps
  it used to do it time ago? or  libhdf4-dev is the one to recommend
  now?
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libogdi-dev : removed from testing on
  2025-09-08

Would it make sense to remove or update them?

Thank you for your time,
