[Digikam-users] updating dcraw for Pentax K10D PEF format

[scott chevalley]

Well, digikam does modify dcraw.c a little, but even so, the source is 
distributed in the archive.  I'm not sure where the issues is.  Other 
than the line below which says that you can use a link to the website if 
you don't modify dcraw.c, which is rather lenient, I can't see how this 
upsets debian.
