[Typo3-debian] PHP 4.3.3 and some questions about the new typo3 deb

It may happen that your GD won't work anymore in PHP. Has nothing to do with
TYPO3, it's just broken.
However, what I now (this was a few weeks ago) is that Unstable is currently
working while Sarge has broken GD support. You might give it a try. I
won't. :-)

You are no more able to write to the global source even if it's activated in
localconf.php.
Nothing critical but I see this as an advantage because new versions would
overwrite this part without any warning.
