Hi Carl,
The debdiff between 8.86-1 and 8.80-1 is definitely too intrusive for a NMU,
let alone that NMUs are not to be used for new upstream releases but for
helping maintainers to fix important bugs in their packages. I understand that
the situation can be frustrating since the current version in Debian can not
handle some cameras (#482816), but if you want to help the maintainer of the
dcraw package in Debian, you should not do changes such as introducing a patch
system that may not be his favorite.
Have you tried to contact the maintainer? Your wishlist bug for a new upstream
release is only one day old!
Have a nice day,
