Re: Updating xloadimage to libtiff5

another DD now explained to me that problems may arise with library
packages that have reverse dependencies, because those might break when
I rebuild against libtiff5. However, as xloadimage is a leaf package,
except for electricsheep, which most likely does not use xloadimage as a
dynamic object, I was told that the change might not be critical.

I thus ask for permission to have xloadimage with a libtiff5 dependency
uploaded.

Cheers,
Nik
