Hi,

(This is a follow-up to Debian bug report #542258 - see

I fully agree that this would be desirable. However, I do not know the
status of getting those changes integrated into libvigraimpex upstream
or whether someone is working on that at all.

With this E-mail, I'm thus forwarding the issue to the upstream
developers, hoping for some feedback. Please keep
<542258-forwarded at bugs.debian.org> Cc'ed when replying to this E-mail to
send a copy to the Debian bug tracking system.

FTR: That diff is available at [0].

TIA,
