I think you forgot to attach it? Anyway I've created one.
Please check if it looks correct.

Why is that? If the C ABI is stable, then there's no need to binNMU the
rdeps. If it isn't, then you should change the package name.
If we binNMU them now, the binNMUs will migrate to testing before the new
gdal, which wouldn't be good if there were ABI changes...

OK that's fine.

OK.
