Just to clarify your answer, this is a problem just for libgdal1-dev, right? As far as I can see, this is the only package that depends on the dummy package libhdf5-serial-dev. Other packages either have an unversioned dependency on libhdf5-dev (code-saturne-include, libvigraimpex-dev, libminc-dev) or have a disjunctive dependency on all libhdf5 development package variants (liboctave-dev). By the way, packages grass-dev and libqgis-dev both depend on libgdal1-dev and are thus impacted by this issue as well.
