Basic packaging is available in git:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/netcdf-libcf.git
The package is unlikely to be uploaded before netcdf 4.1.3 is superseded
by version 4.3.3 though.
libCF is not actively maintained upstream as clarified by Nico Schlömers
comments in the NetCDF Strategy thread on debian-gis@:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/01/msg00043.html
Since better alternatives to libCF exist we won't include libCF in
Debian anymore in the foreseeable future. If libCF development resumes
we'll reconsider including it again when that time comes.
Kind Regards,
Bas
