Pierre: is there any summary on what has to be done exactly to sync
both libraries so distributions can just ship one copy of libgd ?
Maybe all interested parties can hack into it.

Right, so you figured it out. You are talking to Pierre here. He is
the upstream maintainer of the library. And the library is a PHP
project. Telling us to do a better job pushing changes upstream (to
ourselves?) doesn't make much sense.

Upstream gd is nowadays libgd.org and I read there "The library was
originally developped by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained by
Pierre-A. Joye under the umbrella of PHP.net.". Is this a problem?

You missed my point.
These distributions do not have updated libraries, or even worst for
debian, they break the compatibility with the normal GD.
I'm working to sync the external gd and php's gd so both can be used
smoothly, but I have serious doubts that Debian will change, for
example.

That argument completely falls apart if you do a bit of research on who
the upstream for the gd library is.

The PHP devs should try harder to not bundle common libraries and
instead push private changes upstream (IMHO).
