No. DICOMscope should depend on the dcmtk package version that is
already available in Debian rather than throwing in an ancient
dcmtk version in addition to the one that is already there.
I know that - in its current state - DICOMscope 3.5.1 will
presumably compile out-of-the-box with dcmtk version 3.5.0 only.
But it would certainly be possible (and very creditable)
to adapt the DICOMscope 3.5.1 JNI classes to the current dcmtk API ...
On the other hand: DICOMscope 3.5.1 is an ancient version by
itself (last update in 2001 or so). I doubt that upstream would
adapt your changes to DICOMscope 3.5.1 as they already provide
DICOMscope 3.6.0 as a binary package. Would be interesting to
know if they are going to make its sources available as well
somewhen ...
