Bug#188456: Bug#314316: Please migrate to libgd version 2

[Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>]

Hi Ben,

Do you think you'll be able to take a look at this soon?  gccchecker
is now the only package in Debian [1] which required the old libgd-gif
which has been orphaned for over 2.5 years.  libgd-gif was a fork of
libgd v1 to add GIF support; libgd 2 has GIF support again (since the
patent expired) and is supported upstream.

I'd really like to get libgd-gif removed from the archive soon so it
would be great it you could take a look at this.


[1] boot-floppies too, but they are still in the archive only for some
stupid license reasons.  It has several; broken b-ds already so this
won't stop the removal of libgd-gif.
