No, I believe it's gone because libtiff linkage has been declared non-free
by mistake since libtiff was never made to include actual patented
algorithms by default (I think I had filed a bug about that ages ago) and
the libgif linkage was replaced with libungif, or the GIF patent expired,
or something like that.
