Please change the section of libtiff-dev from oldlibs to libdevel, as the files have been moved there from libtiff5-dev several years ago: ,---- | tiff (4.0.10-1) unstable; urgency=high | [...] | * Move libtiff5-dev contents to libtiff-dev . | [...] | -- Laszlo Boszormenyi (GCS) <g...@debian.org> Mon, 19 Nov 2018 17:16:05 +0000 `---- Having it in section oldlibs causes some minor but real problems, as apt treats this section specially. The libtiff6 and libtiffxx6 packages had been marked as manually installed on my system which is not really desirable. Relatedly, libtiff5-dev has become a transitional package for libtiff-dev and should be moved to section oldlibs. Both of these changes have already been made by the maintainer.
