This dependency setting is motivated by the need for 'dicom.dic' which has moved a lot in the past. Currently
% apt-file search dicom.dic libdcmtk2: /usr/share/libdcmtk2/dicom.dic libdcmtk2v5: /usr/share/libdcmtk2/dicom.dic libdcmtk4v5: /usr/share/libdcmtk4/dicom.dic libdcmtk5: /usr/share/libdcmtk5/dicom.dic This is required for the tests to run. This package is often backported and it would be a hassle to have to modify it for each an every target. If you have a suggestion on how to do this better, I'd be happy to implement it. At the moment I don't see how this bug is severity important. Thanks, Michael
