Hopefully some package maintainers are listening.

A CRS constructed from a proj string (deprecated in GDAL 3 + PROJ 6, I
know), works either in PROJ 6 or in GDAL 2, but not in both. The reason is
that for PROJ 6, "+type=crs" is needed, but unfortunately GDAL 2 does not
recognize this parameter and subsequently can not create a CRS from a proj
string containing "+type=crs".

Therefore I recommend to not package GDAL 2 with PROJ 6.
