I assume you talk about debian/sid and /etch?

Well, it do not have to take weeks or months. First, someone need to
finish make a new gdal package, then I or anyone else with upload
privileges can upload it into unstable. Next, a quick re-upload of
the other packages can be done in a few hours to get the rest of the
packages to rebuild with the new gdal library.
Why should this take so long to fix?
I had a look at

and the status look better and better every day. :)
