Good question Dave. I'm not a Debian user but i use of course dcraw source
code with digikam and digiKam is currrently frozen to 8.60 because of this
bug report.

I CC your response to Achim Bohnet, witch packaging digiKam to Debian and
report me this problem. Please, please, please just guide Debian comunity to
solve it (:=)))

I know internationalization. This is another question for Achim. Note than
digiKam do not use it (and do not need).
