The most effective way to satisfy your request would be to do the libaec packaging yourself :) It's not that difficult [1] but time consuming.

I am not sure it is going to be fixed otherwise... as far as i can see no patch to the original packages should be needed, but someone would have to provide a package for libaec, we do unfortunately not have anyone available who knows enough about Debian (or any other) packages. Otherwise the library is API/ABI compatible to libszip. Or do you mean I should produce a patch to the rules for the libhdf5 package?

Package: libhdf5-7 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer(s), since SZIP is essentially non-free, although the corresponding patents are no longer, and our share-holders wanted to use it in other libraries (libcdi) for another file format (GRIB), DKRZ provides a free implementation of the same algorithms at [1]. We'd like to see the library get used more widely.
