Ok, This is fixed in the latest cdo version(s): cdo depends on libhdf5-7 (only), which is provided by either the serial or parallel MPI versions.
A fuller fix is to port this change to stable-proposed-updates and backports. It is a trivial and well tested fix. Also, libgdal1-dev should work with either serial or parallel HDF5. The reason for the dependency was that cdo uses the libcdi library for I/O, which should do parallel writes. This was not actually the case for 1.5.4 version anyway: support was present in the configure and build scripts, but the actual code was not configured for parallel writes (yet).
