Bug#695038: Package in conflict with many other development packages

Hi,

Package libgeotiff-dev depends on libtiff5-dev which conflicts with
libtiff4-dev.

This makes it impossible to install it together with many other
development packages which still depend on tiff4-dev:
   libcv-dev, libcvaux-dev, libtiff4-dev, libtao-foxresource-dev,
   libast2-dev, libvtk5-qt4-dev, libhighgui-dev, libmagickcore-dev,
   libghc6-sdl-image-dev, libafterimage-dev, libdevil-dev,
   libgraphicsmagick1-dev, libzbargtk-dev, libgs-dev, libwings-dev,
   libsdl-console-dev, libace-foxreactor-dev, libpstoedit-dev,
   libvtk5-dev, libfox-1.6-dev, libzbarqt-dev, libgnuift0-dev,
   libsdl-image1.2-dev, graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat,
   libzbar-dev, libdecodeqr-dev, libmagick++-dev, libautotrace-dev,
   giblib-dev, libguichan-dev, libwraster3-dev, libimlib2-dev,
   libsdl-ocaml-dev, python-gamera-dev, libgraphicsmagick++1-dev,
   libmapnik-dev, libvigraimpex-dev, libsimage-dev, libmagickwand-dev,
   libcupsimage2-dev, libghc6-sdl-image-prof, libsane-dev,
   libvips-dev, libcamlimages-ocaml-dev, libcegui-mk2-dev,
   libtuxcap-dev, libcupsdriver1-dev, libspandsp-dev, libigstk4-dev,
   openbox-dev

Packages libossim-dev and liblas-dev, which depend on libgeotiff-dev,
are also incompatible with these packages.

Would it be possible to make libgeotiff-dev depend on libtiff-dev or
libtiff4-dev for the moment, pending the transition to libtiff5?
