Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

According to the upstream documentation [1], Pillow should have read
support for JPEG 2000 via OpenJPEG v2. This format is used quite heavily
in medical software (via the DICOM format), so it would be really nice
to provide a JPEG2000 enabled version of Pillow for this community.

```
To enable JPEG 2000 support, you need to build and install the OpenJPEG
library, version 2.0.0 or higher, before building the Python Imaging
Library.
```

I suppose it should be as straightforward as adding `libopenjp2-7-dev`
in Build-depends, and verifying that `setup.py` detects it properly?

Best regards,
Ghis
