GDAL 3 is not in Ubuntu 19.10 because it's not in Debian unstable yet, 
and Ubuntu syncs its packages from Debian unstable by default.

There is also no one actively maintaining the geospatial packages in 
Ubuntu, and hence no one to do work that diverges from Debian.

The transition to GDAL 3 in Debian unstable is blocked by the removal of 
python-gdal as discussed in the transition bugreport:

  https://bugs.debian.org/939989

python-gdal will also be dropped from the upcoming upload of gdal 
(2.4.3+dfsg-1) once the final release is published.

Once gdal without python-gdal has migrated to testing the transition 
should no longer be blocked by the python-gdal removal.

Unblocking the testing migration may involve getting the remaining 
reverse dependencies of python-gdal removed from testing as well.

Kind Regards,
