This looks like a very interesting project.

Could you please be a bit more verbose? According to SourceForge the
version in Debian (1.17.0) is the latest. Has the project moved? What
exactly do you mean by "contains VGL, V3P, VLC..." ?

If you would like to invest some time into the packaging work you are
more than welcome to do this in the Debian Med team. We have some
documentation[1] how to work in the team and if you need some general
packaging skills we have a mentoring project[2].

While I personally have no specific insight into imaging libraries in
general nor in this lib specifically a general advise is to stick to the
modular approach. So keeping Camp alive as it is might be another
option but I can not decide what people who are doing the real work
should do.

You are welcome to keep on asking if anything might remain unclear or if
you need more specific help. Getting Fw4spl into Debian looks like a
valuable goal and if you are willing to work together in our team this
seems feasible.
Kind regards and thanks for your interest in Debian Med
Andreas.
