But why not take the bundled GD and create a new package
(php4-bundled-gd). As I've said before (and you probably already know)
it's impossible to use imagerotate() with Debian, unless I compile php4
myself, and loose the pros with APT. imagerotate is a quite often used
function on LAMP-installations. It's quite sad that it's a problem to
use this with debian on the server.
