Well, unfortunately our man power is limited even if we are perfectly
willing to support you.  Sometimes we also just forget something.  At
last this should not happen from now on any more because we now
maintain a list of prospective packages at

  http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/imaging.php

(Hmmm, in principle gdcm should be listed _now_ because I just
added it to the propestive packages and regenerated the page, but
obviousely we need another round of debugging ...)

This is really great and enhances the chances for inclusion into
Debian drastically.

I really hope that somebody would find some time to verify your package
and then we can sponsor it to official Debian.  My personal schedule will
not allow this for the next two weeks.  But please don't be shy and ask
in about three weeks again if nobody volunteered to have a look until
than.

Thank you for your very interesting input and sorry if we seemed to
have forgot you after your first mail.

Kind regards

            Andreas.
