Just as another note - I've tried an install the 'freeswitch' way rather than the 'Debian' one.
dpkg-buildpackage in FreeSWITCH root requires the Debian package libtiff4-dev to be installed before it'll work. I've uninstall all Debian libtiff* packages and gone into the FreeSWITCH root and done a 'make && make install'.

**/opt/freeswitch/mod/mod_fax.so: undefined symbol: TIFFDefaultStripSize**
I guess that sort of shows it's an internal problem with the FreeSWITCH libtiff or mod_fax rather than the Debian package?
I'll update the bug report with this.
