Bug#1014741: libgd-perl: GD and GD2 image formats are disabled in libgd3 package

Package: libgd-perl
Version: 2.76-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Graph.pm contains code that specifies file formats "gd" and "gd2" which are
currently disabled in Debian's libgd3 package (these are actually obsolete
formats, apparently, and only used in testing scenarios according to cursory
googling).  Attempting to use libgd-perl will always result in an error at line
515 in Graph.pm and likely elsewhere.

Removing gd and gd2 as options from line 515 (and elsewhere as needed) renders
client uses of this library functional again.
