New Comment:
There is work being done in libgd.org to bring 2.1.0 out (which should
be synced with php). All fixes are done in both libraries (thanks Tabe
for taking care of most of them) and many features have made their way.
By the way, if the tempo is too slow, you can always give us a hand.
I'm not willing to begin again a discussion with the Debian maintainer,
I tried many times without success.

Excuse me for bothering you with petty issues.
Why is it the bundled libgd is not in sync with the more "official"
libgd as you are the sole upstream maintainer? gd hasn't had a new
release since 2007-11-28, and none of the bling-bling found in the
bundled libgd has found its way into any official libgd release.
There are other bundled libraries. What about them then and private
changes?

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.
