You mean because of Alien::gdal?

I can't really test now, because Geo::GDAL::FFI also needs the
unpackaged FFI::Platypus::Declare, but from reading
https://metacpan.org/release/AJOLMA/Geo-GDAL-FFI-0.1/source/Makefile.PL
and
https://metacpan.org/release/AJOLMA/Geo-GDAL-FFI-0.1/source/README.md
a simple

override_dh_auto_configure:
    dh_auto_configure -- GDAL=/usr

plus build dependencies on gdal-bin (for /usr/bin/gdalinfo) and libgdal-dev
might be enough without any Alien::gdal. Maybe :)

(Not sure about
https://metacpan.org/release/AJOLMA/Geo-GDAL-FFI-0.1/source/lib/Geo/GDAL/FFI.pm#L1567
but this is also guarded by an if())

Cheers,
gregor
