Are there any > problems exposed when enabling this support? Yes, it is. UMN MapServer uses pdflib as PDF-library with is non-free. So it should not be enabled if we want to have the UMN MapServer into main. If you have gdal available (which is true for the current mapserver-package) it is better to use the gdal to read geotiffs. The native tiff-support of the UMN MapServer is sometimes broken for example if you try to read WMS-layers with it. It can result in black images or images with distorted colours (at least this is the case in older versions of the UMN MapServer).
