[David Bremner]

Package: darktable
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Would you please consider patching the Debian Darktable package with
the following patches cherry picked from git master:

Most importantly for better color rendition (both are very popular camera's):

I did a patched 0.9.3 on my PPA as well, with no new issues as far as
I could see.

The particular reason why I'm asking this, is that your 0.9.3 package
has made it into Ubuntu Precise (next LTS), and 0.10.0 probably won't
make it (which is probably a good thing for an LTS release, since our
0.x.0 releases are traditionally fairly buggy).

While Ubuntu releases aren't your primary concern, Debian users will
potentially benefit from the above patches in the meanwhile as well.
