There is no gnumeric 1.6.1 in sid anymore; sid has 1.6.2(-3) currently.

Gnumeric in sid is not built with GDA support, because the version of libgda
needed by gnumeric 1.6.x's GDA bindings is not available in sid. As of
1.6.2-2, the descriptions of the packages have been updated to reflect this.

It's not an upstream issue, nor is it a bug in sid's gnumeric packages. You
could file a bug against the GDA packages in Debian. Once suitable GDA
packages are available in sid, it will be possible to reenable GDA support
in the gnumeric builds for sid.
