The netcdf rc version patch is still required to build successfully with
the new netcdf packages in experimental, but no changes are required for
the HDF5 linking issue.

In netcdf (1:4.4.0~rc2-1~exp4) I've patched nc-config and netcdf.pc to
include the HDF5 library & include paths. That solves the linking issue
for all affected packages.

Kind Regards,
