As a temporary solution for this problem, I've updated the proj Debian
package to install proj_def.dat again.

The just uploaded proj (4.9.1-3) contains two patches, the first adds
nad/proj_def.dat as currently on the GitHub master branch, the second is
the nad/Makefile.am change by hobu to install proj_def.dat again.

proj (4.9.1-3) should migrate to testing in 5 days. Ubuntu should pick
it up soon for the upcoming wily release.

I'm not sure what the procedure is to generate release tarballs, so I
couldn't test if the Makefile.am change is sufficient to have
proj_def.dat included in the release tarballs too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
