I had a look, planning to sponsor. Is the upstream source really
containing the debian/ directory? I'm quite sure
gdal-1.3.1.orig/DEBIAN/md5sums should not be part of the source. It
is a generated file. What is the story with the debian/ and the
DEBIAN/ directories?

If the soname changes (or actually, if the ABI of the package
changes), the library packages should change name as well, to keep
existing installations and packages working when installing the new
library package.
