gdal is one of the most important package in the GIS ecosystem,
packaging changes should be discussed before committing them to master.
If your changes are limited to the release specific ubuntu branches, you
have more leeway. But that doesn't really help you with the packaging
that Ubuntu syncs from Debian.

The gdal package is backported to the older LTS releases in the
UbuntuGIS PPA, and revering this change will break gdal on xenial and
earlier.
The conditional should be improved to enable PIE on cosmic and later.
Ideally the version of gcc that has the PIE fixes is checked, but I
haven't found out which version that is.

We need to work out a workflow that keeps the package working for older
Ubuntu releases to not break the package in the UbuntuGIS PPA.
I've elevated your permissions to Developer so you can push, but please
don't push to PIE commit before we have a solution that works for the
UbuntuGIS PPA too.
