Just for the watch file I would for sure stick to the same version.  I
was just trying to find out who might care for this package that seems
to be somehow "team orphaned".  We urgently need more people with
competence in medical imaging who dedicate time to this kind of basic
libraries and sooner or later we need to follow upstream version bumps.

I can't claim my desk is empty enough to dive into this and thus I leave
this untouched for now.  I agree with Étienne that an upload to unstable
is not the best idea for the moment.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
