I assume they are up for adaption too. libpdl-netcdf-perl hasn't seen any activity since I NMUed it for the netcdf transition last October. PDL and its related packages are reverse dependencies of several packages maintained by the Debian GIS team, I can probably help get PDL back into shape within the Perl team too (no promises either).
