I just did the necessary stuff. You also need to should edit the config
file in the bare git repository at git.debian.org to have consistent
commit messages. Please point your local clone to
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/odil.git

You file a bug
reportbug other
select ftpmaster and ask for removal. Its probably sensible to mention
that the new package is just a rename to have good chances that it passes
new quickly. You can also ask for the removal of dcmtk++ *after* odil

deinstall these.
