i maintain the unofficial debian package, and i use internal tiff-geotiff
libraries as well :/

Frank, one more point that is unclear to me is the status of tiff 3.6.x,
is it considered stable? i.e. should i push the debian tiff maintainer to
update it? are 3.6.x binary compatible with 3.5.x?

cheers,
