Hi Bas,

I saw from 
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/gdal/-/commits/experimental 
that you've attempted to add Parquet support (I'm thrilled to see that 
parquet is now packaged for Debian!), but reverted. I'm curious why

I just tried locally in a debian:unstable Docker image, and it builds 
and works fine for me (passes unit tests). In addition to libparquet-dev 
you also want to add  libarrow-dataset-dev and libarrow-acero-dev for 
full support.

Thanks,

Even
