Please take a look at this:

# apt-get install giflib-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libgif4
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  emacs21 gdk-imlib11 gettext-el libungif4g libwraster3 mplayer
  mplayer-skin-blue python-mode wmaker xzgv
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  giflib-tools libgif4

Need to get 204kB of archives.
After unpacking 23.9MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.

IMHO, this is the kind of things we should try to avoid in a stable release,
