Oh. I saw that libtiff-dev had become a transitional package and assumed
(wrongly) that it was being deprecated in favour of the versioned package.
I should have looked more closely at the control file, which (of course)
doesn't say:
"This is a transitional package. It can safely be removed."

The transition to libtiff-dev made multi-arch installation of libcups2-dev
impossible (due to the missing multi-arch field). Since I didn't look
at the control file properly, I asked for the wrong fix. :-(
