Package: dcmtk
Version: 3.6.1~20150629-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

As describe in the previous bug report:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=715011#50

One cannot simply upgrade dcmtk package without grave data loss
(index.dat binary format is not compatible), which should result as
-best case- index.dat corruption, or dcmqrscp to segfault and not
start.

This correspond to the following upstream commit:
c8423ab1fcf0273061462697b8eca56f894984c7

This should be clearly indicated during package upgrades. Marking as
grave as I believe the DICOM file themselves are still kept as-is, so
this is IMHO not a critical `causes serious data loss`. Upstream may
have a finer understanding of the loss.
