This is not completely correct - libtiff.so.3 and libtiff.so.4 both 
correspond to 3.x codebase. libtiff.so.4 is used in Debian and 
derivatives (you can find more details here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tiff/+bug/456257), 
libtiff.so.3 - by upsrteam and other distros. The new 4.x codebase 
should reconcile these different views with unified libtiff.so.5 soname.
