Well, "Rd" stands for "radius distorted" and "Ru", respectively, for
"undistorted". What I mean here is that Rd is the distance from
picture center to the distorted pixel (e.g. in the original camera
shot, which is distorted (and we want to rectify it)).

 And right, I also noted the similarity between LF_DIST_MODEL_POLY5
and Adobe's model; but it also includes a coefficient for 'x'
(although I don't understand its physical meaning, camera lens
distorts equally in the x and y directions).

 Fitting one poly to another is also a valid approach, you can even
try fitting all supported lensfun lens models to find the one that is
closest to the target. However, this would introduce extra
inaccuracies; given that the polynome fitting done by ALPC is also not
ideal, this would effectively double the error.

 Since you're already familiar with Adobe lens model, maybe it would
be easier to try implementing it in lensfun? You may skip the reverse
transform, implement just the forward transform, that will be enough
for most users.
