It does look like a GDAL upgrade to 1.9 would be a good idea though if
the final version will require it. I have plenty of experience building
this stuff from maintaining most of the GIS stack for the Homebrew package
manager on OS X. Entirely new to Debian packaging though, so that will slow
me down quite a bit.

Actually, after re-reading the installation notes, it doesn't look like
GDAL 1.9 is mandatory---just that GDAL>= 1.6 will be mandatory once
PostGIS 2.0 is released.

Allright, took a few jabs at this and here is what I have found so far:
- Without GEOS 3.3.2, PostGIS must be configured `--without-topology` so
this definitely knocks out a big chunk of 2.0 functionality.
- 2.0.0beta2 can compile against the dependencies supplied for PostGIS
1.5.x via `apt-get build-dep postgis` with the addition of GDAL 1.7.0 via
`apt-get install libgdal1-dev`. However, 2.0.0beta3, released today, and
the current SVN head fail during configure:
RASTER: Raster support requested
checking for GDAL>= 1.6.0... found
checking gdal.h usability... yes
checking gdal.h presence... yes

checking for cpl_conv.h... yes
checking for GDALAllRegister in -lgdal... no
configure: error: could not find gdal
This is odd, because running nm against the libraries shows that the symbol
is there:
vagrant@vagrant-64:~/postgis-2.0.0beta3$ nm --dynamic
/usr/lib/libgdal1.7.0.so | grep GDALAllRegister
000000000021a820 T GDALAllRegister
Don't know if this is a bug in the latest beta, or a problem with Ubuntu's
GDAL 1.7.0 libraries. Any advice would be appreciated.
I'd call it a bug in Ubuntu's GDAL. If you called
gdal-config --libs
the output is
-L/usr/lib -lgdal1.7.0
which is something special for the debian/Ubuntu packages. It probably
is so that you can have multiple GDAL library packages.
I just fixed this earlier today (after Beta3 got released) for someone
on IRC. Try r9499.
