If it is done like tutorials suggests, then there will be two libgd
libraries in Debian: one in upstream libgd2 package, AND another
statically linked inside PHP itself. In this way, handling bugs and
security issues would be harder, so Debian policy does not allow that,
IF I understand it correctly.

So either upstream libgd developers should go in sync with PHP fork...
or Debian should use PHP libgd instead of upstream package... or.. I
dunno...
