GDAL is already built using --with-openjpeg=yes, but the libopenjpeg
package in Debian is for openjpeg-1.5 whereas GDAL requires openjpeg-2.0:

checking openjpeg-2.0/openjpeg.h usability... no
checking openjpeg-2.0/openjpeg.h presence... no
checking for openjpeg-2.0/openjpeg.h... no

Before we can have openjpeg support in GDAL the libopenjpeg package needs
to be updated to 2.0.0.
