Cool!  Thanks a lot for your work.  Its really appreciated.

I have no idea at all.  I do not even have an expectation what the
program should do.  I simply inherited the maintenance from Mathieu
Malaterre who injected a lot of medical imaging stuff and decided to
leave the team later.  The package has quite a number of users (compared
to other specialised software) - so I expect users to report issues if
it does not work.

Upstream is dead.

The latter is caused by the debhelper switch.  I'll care for this.

Thanks again.  I'll have a look tomorrow and will ask back in case
of further issues.
 
Kind regards
