I had a quick look at the package, since the hdf5 FAQ says: "If the build completes properly and the tests pass, then the installation should be okay."
You need two options for 'configure': --enable-unsupported and --enable-cxx.
Somewhat surprisingly, the first one is already set in debian/rules.
I added --enable-cxx and tried to build the package on my Debian Jessie machine.
The build fails with
make[2]: Entering directory

Any ideas?
