  Description     : Cloud-optimized GeoTIFF datum grids for PROJ

 proj-data-grids provides datum grids for PROJ in cloud-optimized GeoTIFF
 format.
 .
 These grids are also available via the CDN:
 .
https://cdn.proj.org
 .
 This package can be used to reduce the need for the CDN.

PROJ 7 really wants these grids to be available.

The package will be maintained within the Debian GIS team along with
PROJ.

Packaging for proj-data is available:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/proj-data

It's not in the archive due to license issues with the BeTA2007 grid:

The issues raised by the FTP masters have been forwarded upstream:

https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/383#issuecomment-622246695

This issue should really be fixed upstream, and not worked around by
excluding the problematic grid in a repacked tarball.
