I see in
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#install-no-binary
a --no-binary switch that is apparently to not install wheels. So probably a 
single pip package could be use for both use cases. Comments for people 
experienced with that welcome.

An easy way is to start at
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libgdal26
And clicking on each of the listed dependency to display its license 
information (in the right part)

The main GPL dependency I think of is the Poppler one, used for the PDF 
driver.
