Might I suggest libgd-dev instead? If a later API revision makes lots
of other packages FTBFS, a new versioned libgdN-dev package can always
be introduced; otherwise unversioned ones in case of say just ABI bumps
are more correct and cause less painful transitions.

If the SOVERSION is now 3, then the shared library package would need
to be called libgd3 (and libgd3-dev or as mentioned above ideally
libgd-dev), or did I misunderstood something in the above?
