[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#677721: Processed: severity of 677721 is serious

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hi Andreas,

  I believe -last I check- it is still missing linking to libxml2. I
*think* that the patch is still incomplete and it only fixes issues as
seen during a rebuild of a certain package using dcmtk (forgot which
one).

  If you feel brave enough to do an upload of dcmtk, please feel free
to do so. I do not know exactly what is the impact of this patch, esp.
at this point in time (=during freeze).

  I honestly do believe the severity is important, since upstream
explicitly link all dcmtk libs when compiling there executables. So
debian is just making it easier for our users :)

Thanks !
