This was actually ok *before* now; it just required adding a versioned
build-dependency on gdal.  This versioned build-dependency is still
recommended, to keep m68k from accidentally trying to build the packages out
of order later once it does catch up (AFAIK it won't work because
openscenegraph builds binaries linked against libgdal instead of just
building libraries, but why take chances?).

Incidentally, this bug is actually due to be downgraded shortly; because
libopenscenegraph1c2 didn't reach testing before this mess happened, we've
decided that the *rename* of the library is not RC (because it doesn't
affect upgrades between releases), it's only RC to keep binaries built with
the broken and no-longer-supported ABI out of the release -- and that's
almost done, as openscenegraph has been binNMUed on all architectures but
arm and m68k at this point.  I would still encourage you to rename the
library package per this transition, but there should be no need for you to
regard it as release-critical.

Cheers,
