I see that the HDF5 support can be built with a system install of
HDF5.  From a packager point of view, that is crucial.  I hope you
will similarly support a system DCMTK.

Is there a vision of coordinating with packagers on these ITK-specific
fixes?  As long as the ITK-specific fixes don't break non-ITK
software, Debian can generally apply the same fixes to the Debian
system HDF5, or DCMTK, etc.  So it would be awesome if there was a way
for me to receive notifications of such.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
