As mentioned on the debian-gis list [0], I've bit the bullet and dropped
the liblwgeom dependency from spatialite to untangle the
spatialite->postgis->gdal->spatialite circular dependency.

spatialite (4.3.0a-5) has been uploaded to unstable and should be
available in the archive soon. This should unblock the next gdal
transition and also help you with the issues it caused you.
