Hm indeed. Makes me wonder whether it would not be better to make
libtiff-dev the real package and abandon libtiffN-dev altogether.
(Never understood why the -dev packages need the numbers, anyway.)

On the other hand, that would mean that the transition starts as
soon as the source package building libtiff(N+1) brings with it
its own version of libtiff-dev… needs more careful uploads.
