I don't think this is what the intention was, the mention of optdepends
was to ask why it's an optdepends if it's already a hard depends (doesn't make sense).
Now there is no hdf5 support built at all and a optdepends won't
change this fact. What you want is most likely the same as the non git
variant: add it to makedepends so at build time the hdf5 part can be
compiled but remove it from depends as it's runtime optional.
