Yes, but given Debian 7/Wheezy is still in testing status, it still
may be resolved before it becomes the stable release.  It used to be
standard procedure for Ubuntu/Debian when installing Xastir from
source to install libgeotiff from source as well, so from a Xastir
perspective, the issue can be considered resolved.

Also the underlying problem may not be with the magick packages.  The
latest version of libgeotiff (1.4) available in source code does not
require/depend on a libtiff version as new as the one in the libtiff5
Debian package.  So, it appears that the libgeotiff-dev package in the
Debian repository is requiring libtiff5-dev when it doesn't
necessarily need the latest version.
