of confusion. There is a method to the madness though. The runtime library's package name always includes the soname of the shared library, so libtiff.so.5.whatever would be provided by a package called libtiff5.

Why don't we just rename libtiff 4.0.1 to libtiff 5? :) I say this half-jokingly but I personally wouldn't mind just bumping up the libtiff version so that it will always match the so version from now on to simplify things.
