As predicted, nothing relevant changed in debian libraw. However, there
is actually good news on this front. In the master branch of darktable,
the dependency on libraw has been removed. I don't expect it's feasible
to backport, but we should have a new upstream major release before
stretch. So it might make sense to reopen this bug and tag it
fixed-upstream in order to track this progress.

For reference, here is the last commit removing libraw. There is at
least 11 other commits that look relevant.
