Hello,

I think there are 2 issues. If you agree we should split this one and provide 2 
fixes.

1) exactimage links against libungif which package was removed in 2005.
giflib provided symlinks until then, but I think we should clean this nowadays.
Seeing no reverse dependency on the provided libungif-dev, I (wrongly it seems)
assumed that libungif symlinks had their days.

I think exactimage should now link with libgif to be more consistent with its 
build-depends.

2) libgif-dev still have the symlinks below that need to be not installed

I'd like this issue solved before even thinking about a transition to 
api-incompatible giflib 5.

Best regards,
