A quick fix to keep vgrabbj working is to drop support for imprinting
labels in the images. It would keep vgrabbj working when freetype1 is
removed.
This patch implement that change:

Perhaps a better alternative instead of having vgrabbj removed from
testing? It would be great if you could try to get vgrabbj in Lenny,
to get the stopmotion package used by Debian Edu working with USB
cameras in Lenny.
Happy hacking,
