hdf5 1.8.4 transition

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Hello all

Debian [1] is doing/done transition to hdf5-1.8.4. As per output on my
lucid machine various packages packages are not installable eg.
octave3.0-headers, hdf5utils etc. Got my attention because of the bug
[2].

Is the hdf5 1.8.3 -> 1.8.4 transition planned / started? If yes where
can I follow up and help? If not shall I start one by figuring out all
needed no-source change uploads and making a meta-bug for it?
