Well, I am very sure that TYPO3 runs find with Woody. The base package
contains a localconf.php which is already optimised for GD2 on Woody.

Are you sure that - once the PNG issues are fixed in Sarge - it will get
broken again? So how about the current status? Is it possible to use TYPO3
on Sarge with either GIF or PNG support? Is the answer is yes: Which
packages are required for that?

Maybe I should add a reference to this thread and we just say "Use it at
your own risk. It may happen that things work / do not work by simply
running the upgrade."

I still wonder why people may want to use Sid (it's name is "unstable"!!!)
on a production server?!

However, thanks for your help.
