This is terrific, NMU is acceptable without any delay. However, please confirm that the resulting Leptonica package actually has a dependency on libopenjpeg!
I mention this because configure.ac in Leptonica upstream mentions "libopenjp2" and I think that still needs to be "libopenjpeg". So we may need to keep that part of the patch. I am very happy to help if any of this gets difficult in any way. Supporting JPEG 2000 is really terrific and will help a lot of users. Jeff
