There aren't many C image-reading libraries. libfreeimage is mostly-dead
upstream, and is kinda weird. If SAIL was in Debian and is all the
things that its website claims, I would consider moving my upstream
software to use it instead of libfreeimage. So I'd like to see this in
Debian, but have too much of a backlog to do the packaging myself,
sadly.
