lwgeom support was disabled to untangle the circular dependency as

Please excuse my amateurism, but could you explain this in more detail?
I do have a certain understanding of the matter, but I've never had
anything to do with such circular dependencies.
Packages involved in the circular dependency cannot be updated because
the old versions are kept around.
See:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2016/02/msg00017.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/08/msg00061.html
When performing a distribution upgrade apt will need to update
libspatialite, which involves removing the old version and installing
the new.
This will not be possible because gdal requires libspatialite to be
installed.
Removing gdal before upgrading libspatialite is not possible because
postgis requires gdal to be installed.
Removing postgis before upgrading libspatialite and gdal is not possible
because libspatialite requires (liblwgeom from) postgis to be installed.
Kind Regards,
Bas
