Mathieu,

Sorry for missing your points, I'll fix that ASAP and keep up updated.
BTW, dcmtk has been uploaded to experimental, so my package on
mentors has been removed.

today, I checked the version 3.6.0-2 of the Debian package. Looks good to me, apart from one details in the "dcmtk.README.Debian" file. As far as I understand the first two paragraphs of the section on "Debian specific notes", they are not correct anymore:

=== CUT ===

Debian specific notes:

The upstream sources are not packaging friendly in terms of the Unix Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (see e.g. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/). There is currently no straightforward way to install DCMTK in compliance with the FHS without kludging the build scripts in some way.

Thus, the Debian DCMTK source package includes a number of patches to change the semantics of the --libdir and --datadir configure options in order to separate read-only architecture-independent data (e.g. the dicom.dic DICOM dictionary) from architecture-dependent object libraries.
For backward compatibility, the original (i.e. violating FSH) behavior is
preserved in case ./configure is invoked without --prefix option.

=== CUT ===

I could also not find such patches in your package (probably, since they are not needed any longer :-).

Btw, you should probably also update the "signature line" at the end of the "dcmtk.README.Debian" file.

Regards,
Jörg Riesmeier
