RFP: SAIL image decoding library

[Dmitry Baryshev]

Hi!

> Does it produce desired Debian packages?

I've just pushed a couple of fixes to the Debian rules. I'm able to build
packages on LUbuntu 23.04. Maybe a couple of small fixes are still needed
to build packages on Debian. So the recommended git sha to use is
4705cb4cf96. It's a release candidate and ready to use in client
applications.

> Are these packages lintian-clean?

The only error Lintian showed is "unknown distribution", but this is
because I run it on Ubunutu.

> Do you know any software already in Debian which would benefit from
having SAIL in Debian?

It's a library and I guess end users will benefit from it.
