If I read correctly the page, compiling gdal with FileGDB needs the
arcgis SDK. The license of this SDK doesn't allow us to distribute it at
all. So no, we can't add the support built-in easily. A solution I could
see would be to create a source package like we did for ECW/MrSID. The
user install a package called libgdal-ecw-src, then install the
appropriate SDK, then type gdal-build-ecw and a plugin is built and
ready to use. However, creating a package like this need a certain
amount of work. You can contact me if you are interested more about this
solution.
Another solution for you would be to just have a development virtual
machine to rebuild the debian package with the support. That machine
would only provides the .deb files to other production machines.

Hi,
Thank you for the release of qgis for Precise.
I have a question about the FileGDB API.
Few month ago, I compiled myself gdal 1.9 to allow reading ARCGIS
Geodatabase. It worked well.
However, I cleaned up my laptop of all the dev packages I had to install
to compile gdal and qgis.
I prefer having a clean installation of qgis that update "alone" each
time there is a new release or correction thanks to your UbuntuGIS ppa...
Well, would it be possible for you to compile gdal with fgbd in a way it
can read the FileGDB API file proposed by ArcGIS saved in the proper folder.
Except if it is possible to include it in the .deb but I am not sure it is.
