They can upgrade to new gdal at their leisure because old gdal library 1.3.1 will still be in the debian repository. > > Does any one see any problems with the process?

If we patch gdal-config as well it probably won't be necessary to patch other packages. But I see another point that could be difficult: It won't be possible to install more than on gdal-dev or gdal-bin package since the binaries still havn't the version number included.
