[Ubuntu] UbuntuGIS State

[Julien Malik]

Hi Jérôme,

You have updated libgeotiff package to 1.4.0.
It has the libtiff4-dev dependency whatever the distro, while on quantal 
and raring, there is a libtiff5-dev package (support for BigTIFF), and 
the official universe package (1.3.0) already depends on this more 
up-to-date libtiff package.
Is it intended ?

The ossim package has problems building on quantal because of this.

Thanks,
Julien
