Bug#1019701: RFP: rpi-imager -- Raspberry Pi Imaging Utility

[Dave Jones <dave@waveform.org.uk>]

Hi Francois, Lin,

I'm the maintainer for the current Ubuntu packaging of rpi-imager [1]. 
If Debian's interested in adding this, there's a few changes in the 
Ubuntu packaging that *might* interest Debian (in particular the bits 
that include the JSON schema documentation, and patch out the privacy 
violations that lintian then warns about, and possibly the d/watch file 
as well).

I'm currently prepping the packaging for 1.7.4 but it's a little 
complicated by the new "no-big-endian" check [2] which obviously breaks 
the s390x build. I should probably just disable that build but a part of 
me is tempted to "just fix it"!

Oh, and 1.7.4 also includes the man-page that I previously patched into 
1.7.3 [3].

Anyway, do feel free to grab anything from there if it's wanted!
