Bug#706514: RFS: dcraw/9.17-1

[Oliver Sander <sander@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>]

Hi Anton,
thanks for the quick reply.  You are right: I should have asked the
maintainers before.  My apologies.  I needed the package for myself,
and then figured why not learn how to upload?
I'm not surprised that the packaging is old.  I basically just took the
last package und stuffed in the new upstream code.  I can try to
improve it a little, but let's hear what Steve says first.

Thanks,
Oliver
