Bug#791067: Is this a general ban on soname bumps with gcc5 transitions, or just hdf5?
New gcc5 transition notices are still being sent out with the "Such a
change can be avoided, if you have a soversion bump and you upload this
version instead of the renamed package" wording (e.g. simgear
https://bugs.debian.org/797944 ); is this a mistake, or is hdf5 special
because it has both C and C++ interfaces (so a soname bump would drag in
C rdeps that wouldn't otherwise be affected) and a fairly large number
of rdeps?
