Comment (by Bas Couwenberg):

 The gdal Debian package has used
 `/usr/share/gdal/<GDAL_VERSION_MARJOR>.<GDAL_VERSION_MINOR>` for
 `GDAL_DATA` for a very long time.

 {{{
 # ls -l $(gdal-config --datadir)/gcs.csv
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54388 May  4 16:33 /usr/share/gdal/2.3/gcs.csv
 }}}

 `CPLFinderInit()` is patched to use this path instead of
 `/usr/share/gdal`.

 I suspect this code path is not used in 2.3 any more.
