Ouch. :/

We should avoid breaking qgis every time a new gdal library is
uploaded.  It will happen if qgis uses the C++ API and the gdal C++
API changes on every release. :/

Not sure.  At the moment it is libgdal1c2a, and the previous ones were
libgdal1c2 and libgdal1c2a?  I guess libgdal2 if the API is
incompatible with libgdal1c2a, but am not really uptodate with the
library issues.
