[Typo3-debian] Problems with GDlib 2

For Woody, things seem to work much better with GD2 instead of GD1. You can
try if it works better with GD1, you just need to uninstall typo3-env.
(This is a dummy package which only provides dependencies to other
packages. There's no other functionality inside.)

After that, you can install php4-gd just the usual way.
Feedback would be very welcome!

Good luck!
