Comment(by jmalik):

 Correct : it is useless to push the OTB packages in ubuntugis as-is, they
 won't read TIFFs.

 The current gdal package in the OTB ppa includes a patch to *NOT* disable
 the GTiff driver in case an executable links to libtiff in addition to
 gdal. Chances are that this is fixed in 1.8.1, but I must double-check.

 We now need also r22639 and r22640 otherwise OTB within Qgis makes gdal
 crash.
 The commits need to be rebased (the svn diff won't apply correctly on 1.8
 branch - it touches the configure and some other moving targets).

 I don't have time to look into this just now, but hope to do it within the
 next week or two.
 My idea was to use the git mirror of gdal to help in rebasing the commit,
 see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2011-October/030509.html

 If you have a better idea and can apply those two patches easily, I can
 test a 1.8.1 package on our "otb-nightly" ppa, and report status.
