You can get libtiff3 by installing from the "unstable" distribution (rex).
This brings up something that been annoying me: I've run into this and similar
problems two or three times now, where a package is placed onto the "stable"
area before the packages it depends on. This is a problem for obvious
reasons--the package isn't really available as a "stable" package until all
the other packages it requires are also considered stable. There's no point
in putting stuff you can't actually install into the directory. I'd like to
request that in the future, packages not be placed on "stable" until all the
pieces are ready to go out the door. Surely this can't be that difficult to
manage.
