Bug#850027: libfreeimage3: freeimage 3.17.0+ds1-4 makes rviz unusable

[Ghislain Vaillant]

I believe it is worth trying, since neither the situation before nor 
after freeimage 3.17.0+ds1-4 is ideal. Before, a set of plugins were no 
longer loaded correctly (#841089) and after, the API was somewhat 
changed (because of the dummy node introduced by the updated patch).

Besides, I am now wondering whether we actually did a rebuild of all 
rdepends with 3.17.0+ds1-4?
