Waiting for openmpi is no problem, but if the libpng transition is going
to happen first, I think it's better to use that time the prepare the
transition to GDAL 2.0 instead of 1.11.4. Last week the last blocker was
resolved [0], so we're also pretty much ready to transition to GDAL 2.0.
The 2.0 packages will have to pass the NEW queue again, because of the
delay that will cause I've opted to transition to 1.11.4 which is ready now.
If you can confirm that the libpng transition is going to happen first,
I'll upload the packages for GDAL 2.0 to experimental, and we can switch
to that in unstable after the libpng transition and the new gdal has
passed NEW.
