  Description     : A noGDAL tool for reading geotiff files

geotiff is an optional dependency of pywps, a key package for geopython GIS.
It looks simple to maintain, and I will maintain it as part of
the Debian GIS team.

Hi,

The "geotiff" name is a bit unfortunate. There is a risk of confusion
with the well established C library "libgeotiff". Perhaps
"python-geotiff" would be less confusing ?

My software is free, but my time generally not.

Might not be as easy, due to the newer zarr we have in Debian:

I agree. I will use the source name "python-geotiff" and binary
"python3-geotiff"

My first cut seems to build fine with the latest zarr (and passes all
tests, including simple zarr ones).
