Bug#283385: ITP: gimp-ufraw -- Gimp tool to impor raw images

ufraw has a preview image and lots of options.

gimp-dcraw is a bare-bones import without preview and with too few
options -- using it is hit-and-miss and the results still require
some postprocessing in the gimp.

The bottom line is that gimp-dcraw is unuseable when you want to do a
high-quality import; ufraw works.
