I would say that it is an upstream bug.

It can't be installed, claiming dependencies.

This is now OK,
Installing is possible.
Scanning a page in grey, saving it as PDF, this is OK.
Assigning to QA.

$ tiffcp -h
LIBTIFF, Version 4.2.0
Copyright (c) 1988-1996 Sam Leffler
Copyright (c) 1991-1996 Silicon Graphics, Inc.

usage: tiffcp [options] input... output
where options are:
 -a              append to output instead of overwriting
 -o offset       set initial directory offset
 -p contig       pack samples contiguously (e.g. RGBRGB...)
 -p separate     store samples separately (e.g. RRR...GGG...BBB...)
 -s              write output in strips
 -t              write output in tiles
 -x              force the merged tiff pages in sequence
 -8              write BigTIFF instead of default ClassicTIFF
 -B              write big-endian instead of native byte order
etc.....all looks normal, Ok for me
