Another revision of flex has been uploaded that should fix the ncl
FTBFS, but I haven't gotten around to testing that yet.

Because of the significantly increased size of the proj-datumgrid
archive, the Austrialian grids along with the Danish grids have been
moved to separate archives, see:
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/proj/2018-February/008058.html
The size of the datumgrids.shar in the Debian package is now much more
reasonable again, generating the source package takes significantly less
time again.

For the time being I'll keep the datumgrid shar archives in the source
package. If there is sufficient user demand, the proj-datumgrid-europe,
proj-datumgrid-north-america & proj-datumgrid-oceania can be packaged
separately. Creating packages for those should be fairly easy, so a nice
task for users who need them to get involved in the Debian GIS team
*hint hint* :-)
