I'd think it'd be better to not start this until after the netcdf
migration is done.  It's already entangled with unixodbc, so adding
another soname change to this pile at the same time doesn't seem like
the way to go.  I'm not a RM, though, so if they tell you otherwise feel
free to ignore me :)

Also, how bad would it be to stay with gdal 1.6 for squeeze, if this
transition isn't possible before the freeze?

Cheers,
Julien
