Thanks for your report.
As far as I can see this is a special case, but there is also a related
non-RC bug that should still be fixed.
Debian ships/shipped different versions of this library in
different packages.
Right now gridengine-drmaa1.0 seems to be the only one,
but at first sight it doesn't look as if that's cast in stone.
What should be fixed/updated are the dependencies, something like
-Suggests: libdrmaa1.0, pbs-drmaa1
+Recommends: gridengine-drmaa1.0
