This problem arises because dpkg conservatively refuses to let provided
package names satisfy versioned dependencies. The current hdf5
packaging accounts for that by indicating that dependent packages should
declare unversioned dependencies, but hdf-eos5 just mixed the fix. The
next hdf5-eos upload of any sort should pick up a proper unversioned
dependency; a binary-only rebuild may be in order unless its maintainer
plans to issue another sourceful upload soon.
