I checked the libodbcinstq1 library, and it is only providing a C API.
Because of this, I conclude that it is safe to upload a new version of
gdal, and did make a 5 day delayed upload of version 1.2.6-1.1.

The package I uploaded is available from
<URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/~pere/debian/>.  This is the
changelog:

gdal (1.2.6-1.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload to move to new C++ ABI. (Closes: #321587)
  * Rename library package from libgdal1 to libgdal1c2.
  * Add forward declaration of ILWISDataset in
    frmts/ilwis/ilwisdataset.h to make GCC 4.0 happy.
