Package: pqiv
Version: 2.6-1

I did just release pqiv 2.8. Instead of just bumping the version and
reusing the same package template, please consider using the attached
control and rules files.

pqiv has, and has had for some versions now, support for using
ImageMagick, libav/ffmpeg, Poppler, Spectre and libarchive to support
more file formats. It is possible to compile the additional backends
into shared libraries that are pulled in at runtime with silent
failure, allowing to build against all backends, but declare the
runtime dependencies as optional. It would be great to include the
backends in the package. My proposed changes to the package would make
use of this feature on Linux, and fall back to compiling a single
binary with hard dependencies on any other platform.

The other proposed change is an update in the short and long
description, also contained in the attached control file. I changed
the homepage to the github page as well, as I update it much more
frequently.

Feel free to reuse only parts of my proposed changes.
