The first beta for GDAL 2.2.0 has been released, and the gdal package in experimental has been updated.
While we have librasterlite2 in the archive, the RC0 version doesn't have the required functions to enable the support in GDAL. We do have Fyba, so the SOSI support was enabled. We also have SFCGAL, but since many users complain about the OpenSceneGraph dependency chain pulled in via libsfcgal, I've not enabled the support for now. Once the new SFCGAL release is out which splits the OSG support into a separate library, we can reconsider enabling the support in GDAL. Development of SFCGAL is not very active, which doesn't inspire confidence in its future supportability in PostGIS & GDAL. Because of the minor version bump, now was a good time to move the data files (in /usr/share/gdal/<MAJOR>.<MINOR>) from libgdal20 to its own architecture independent gdal-data package (like libproj & proj-data). This leaves only the shared library in libgdal20 which is more appropriate. A nice side effect will be that eventually many systems will have the gdal-data package installed likely making gdal an key package (exempt from testing auto-removal) as proj is also thanks to proj-data.
