Is it expected that this is now an error?

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are 
set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
HDF5_dl_LIBRARY_DEBUG (ADVANCED)

/builddir/build/BUILD/netcdf-c-4.3.1-rc2/liblib

Something has definitely changed with handling debug CMAKE_BUILD_TYPEs between 
2.8.11.2 and 2.8.12-rc2.  I'm building netcdf 4.8.1-rc2 and it works fine with 
2.8.11.2 but I get errors like the above with 2.8.12-rc2.  We build Fedora 
packages with either the Debug or RelWithDebugInfo build types so debug info 
is generated - though it is later stripped and put into a separate -debuginfo 
sub-package.  So the debug versions of libraries are generally not available 
at build time.

Could someone describe to me more of what is going on here?  There seems to be 
a new "debug" link mode or some such? I'm afraid this will be a real show 
stopper for Linux distributions.
