[Xastir] Xastir CVS and Debian

Currently it is not possible under Debian to compile a version of
xastir which supports all map types.
The Debian packaging system will not allow the concurrent install of
all the dependencies.
To install libmagickcore-dev means removing libgeotiff-dev &
libtiff5-dev
Trying libmagickcore-dev from experimental has a dependency on
libpng15-15 which is not available from the repositories.
I used one from openSuse factory, converted with alien, for this
purpose.
libtiff4-dev was installed by the package manager to supply the
dependencies for libmagickcore-dev.

I'm not sure where in the Debian bug reporting system this gets
reported, but it will prevent a newer Xastir version entering the
Debian system until the libmagickcore-dev dependencies are revised.
