Please turn libtiff-dev into a real package. This is necessary for
solving a problem related to new architectures, see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/08/msg00013.html
section 1.3 for details.
It turns out that transitively build-essential packages declared
Build-Depends on libtiff-dev, but it cannot be determined which package
needs to be built to satisfy this dependency, since provides are not
recorded in the .dsc file. For the time being all transitively
build-essential packages must have a non-virtual first alternative for
each build dependency. Since Build-Depends: libtiff5-dev causes problems
to the release team, the only way out is to turn libtiff-dev into a real
package.
