Thanks for your feedback.

This would be very helpful.  Just to let you know:  If you want to have
JHDF5 distributed with the next stable Debian release the deadline for a
fix would be about Christmas since there is a freeze at 5.1.2017 and the
package needs 10 days from beeing uploaded to make it into the pool
called "testing" where all release candidates are residing.

Kind regards and thanks for your cooperation

      Andreas.
