Bug#623444: please ship imagetops script (formerly from kdelibs4c2a package)

[Andrew O. Shadoura]

Package: netpbm
Version: 2:10.0-12
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Please ship imagetops script which was formerly a part of kdelibs4c2a
package, but now isn't provided by any package (and it is not really
belong to KDE, as it's no KDE-specific).

This would lead to additional dependency on 'file' and, possibly, the
package must conflict with kdelibs4c2a (but I'm not sure about this).

The slightly modified version (just to fix a bug) altogether with its
manpage is attached.

..sp 1
\fBimagetops\fP works in two steps:
..IP "    1."
the given file is converted to PNM format by analyzing the file format and calling the appropriate conversion program.

..PP
The supported mime types are: jpeg, png, x\-png, bmp, x\-bmp, gif and tiff.
..sp 1
\fBimagetops\fP supports reading the parameters via stdin. A temporary file in \fI$TMPDIR\fP (or \fI/tmp\fP if unset) is created then.
