Hi John,
The debian package for dcraw is lacking all the i18n that upstream
provides. I have been working towards including these in my next
release. However, the current dcraw package is very out of date, so it
is probably time I updated it with or without i18n support.
You are right, it is a simple process to upgrade the basic package, but
as dcraw upstream sources don't come with any make mechanism, save a
basic shell script, I have to maintain this myself.
I am always looking for RAW files for new cameras. I ensure that the new
packages can decode them correctly before releasing new packages. If you
want to email me any, I would be most grateful.
Thanks for your interest in dcraw.
Regards,

Dear Steve et al.,
As already mentioned in previous e-mails to this bug report, a newer
version of dcraw is available. The current version is 8.99; this
release supports many newer cameras, including the one I have: the
brilliant Canon EOS 7D.
The update is very straight forward: just update the upstream files
and modify the debian/changelog file. All of a few minutes! If you
are not able to do so, could you let someone else do it?
I have already done the hard work for my own ZAP Group package
repository; you can find the relevant files at:
ftp://ftp.zap.org.au/pub/debian/dists/zapgroup-sid/main/source/dcraw_8.99-0.1zg1.dsc
ftp://ftp.zap.org.au/pub/debian/dists/zapgroup-sid/main/source/dcraw_8.99.orig.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.zap.org.au/pub/debian/dists/zapgroup-sid/main/source/dcraw_8.99-0.1zg1.diff.gz
Alternatively, you can use the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.zap.org.au/pub/ubuntu zapgroup-sid main restricted
deb-src ftp://ftp.zap.org.au/pub/ubuntu zapgroup-sid main restricted
You can replace "zapgroup-sid" with "zapgroup-lenny" or
"zapgroup-karmic" as appropriate.
Yours truly,
John Zaitseff
