(just a quick remark about libtiff4 vs. libtiff5 itself) I didn't follow very closely, but I think tiff is getting symbols versioning; I also think libtiff5 was the first package to have it; so if packages are rebuilt against a symbols versioning-enable libtiff4 (which you can track at [1], that should be OK? 1. http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/libtiff4-symbols.html Mraw, KiBi.
