Bug#706514: RFS: dcraw/9.17-1
Hi Oliver,
[Quoting your private mail to me, hoping there is nothing private]

The package cannot be adopted now as it is not yet orphaned. CC-ing
MIA-team, as, it seems, the current maintainer Steve King is not active
in Debian any more. He was CC-ed several times in this bug-thread without
any reaction from his side.

Gregor is right, we can do NMU with the new version of the package (thanks him).
Sorry for confusing, I did not know that. I have changed your debian/changelog
accordingly.

Ok, I have uploaded the package. Thanks for contributing! I hope
you have learned something from this cooperation.
I did not use DELAYED-queue as the original maintainer had enough
time to react.
Hope, you will continue you work on Debian!
Best regards,
