The Debian package will keep using the external tiff because we don't 
want to deal with the tiff security updates in the embedded copy.

Features that are only available when using the embedded copy won't be 
enabled in the Debian package.

The only sane way forward is to not use private functions of tiff.

Kind Regards,
