ACK, thanks for the pointer!
The problem is that I'm yet unsure whether a binNMU will be
sufficient or not. My analysis is below, and unless there'd be
objections, I'd be filing a bug against release.debian.org, with
the binNMU entries as follows.
nmu libcgns_3.1.3.4-1 . ALL . -m 'Rebuilt against libhdf5-7 >= 1.8.8-7.1'
nmu nexus_4.2.1-svn1614-1 . ALL . -m 'Rebuilt against libhdf5-7 >= 1.8.8-7.1'
nmu r-cran-hdf5_1.6.10-1 . ALL . -m 'Rebuilt against libhdf5-7 >= 1.8.8-7.1'
nmu tessa_0.3.1-6 . ALL . -m 'Rebuilt against libhdf5-7 >= 1.8.8-7.1'
nmu udav_0.7.1.2-3 . ALL . -m 'Rebuilt against libhdf5-7 >= 1.8.8-7.1'
AIUI, the packages affected are exactly those built against
pre-1.8.8-7.1 versions of the Source: hdf5 libraries. That may
explain the versioned dependency, and may be a good indication
for that a binNMU will be sufficient to get the issue fixed.

hdf5 (1.8.8-7.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Stop building the c++ libraries, nothing uses them. And don't version the
libhdf5-7 symbols file, so the dependency can also be satisfied by the mpi
packages' Provides.
* Use DEB_HOST_ARCH instead of DEB_BUILD_ARCH in debian/rules.
* Don't require root for debian/rules clean.

As per http://packages.qa.debian.org/, all the packages I've
listed before entered unstable prior to 2012-02-18 (except for
Source: tessa, which was uploaded a couple of days after.)

NB: apparently, nexus was re-built once as 4.2.1-svn1614-1+b1 on
2012-01-26 (before hdf5_1.8.8-7.1, and still bearing a possibly
unwarranted versioned dependency on libhdf5-7.)
