thanks,

suggest to revise instructions in the libtiff transition guide:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/05/msg00127.html


"""
* If your package depended on libtiff5-dev, change it to depend on libtiff-dev, or to help future backporters, on libtiff-dev (>> 4.0.3-1~).
"""

note the suggested README.Debian in the libtiff5-alt-dev package doesn't seem to exist.


regards,
Hamish
