Details
On every patchlevel release, every depending package needs to be rebuild in order to work.
This is crazy, and Debian for instance patch it this way https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/hdf5/blob/master/debian/patches/relax-version-check.patch
We should think about the best way to handle this, and eventually try to upstream it.
This requires to figure out when that might actually be an issue and why upstream does this.
