Package: libjpeg-progs
Version: 6b-10

The jpeg comment printed by the tool rdjpgcom differs from the jpeg
comment present in the jpeg file.

For example, rdjpegcom replaces "unprintable" bytes with a
backslash-sequence (see function process_COM in file rdjpgcom.c).

wrjpgcom, on the other hand, performs no alterations.

This is a problem if the comment is in a different encoding than the
system's locale, or if the comment is in a multibyte encoding (e.g. utf-8).

rdjpgcom should not modify the comment at all.

I have written such patch and it has been accepted upstream in libjpeg7
which is now in Debian.

Thanks for your suggestion!
