Mike,
The datum shift files are large and only applicably in a few cases
(north americans using NAD27). I try to package them in binary
distributions I ship, but apparently by decision or by omission the
Debian package maintainer decided otherwise.
I would have hoped that they would at least have been available as an
add-on package.
Best regards,
