Title:
  Sync tesseract 3.02.01-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

Status in “tesseract” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Please sync tesseract 3.02.01-1 (universe) from Debian sid (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

  This is a major upstream release that incorporated a lot of
  improvements and fixes. It runs patch free on Debian.

  Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

  Tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) program designed
  to turn images into symbolic text. It is developed with support from
  Google as part of a book digitization effort, and can have major
  impact wherever digitizing paper documents are important. Debian's
  version of Tesseract contains improvements to accuracy, and expands
  out-of-the-box language support from 6 European languages to 65
  languages from all over the world. I am the Debian package
  co-maintainer, and have a close relationship with upstream.

  There are a number of complications with this synchronization request,
  possibly beyond what Ubuntu would normally consider.

    Tesseract 3.0x has only been in Debian for a couple of weeks. It is
    still in Debian Unstable due to package name changes. For example
    tesseract-ocr-dev became libtesseract-dev

    Each language is packaged separately, so we are talking 65+
    packages. See the Debian maintainer page for all tesseract-*
    packages. We would like all except for tesseract-ocr-lat-lid to
    enter Ubuntu 12.04.

    Several packages execute the tesseract binary. They should work fine.
    $ whodepends tesseract-ocr
    gscan2pdf
    ocrfeeder
    ocrodjvu
    slimrat
    slimrat-nox

    Two package build-depend on Tesseract
    $ build-rdeps tesseract-ocr-dev
    ocropus
    sikuli

    Ocropus FTBFS due to package name changes and API changes in
    Tesseract. Ocropus upstream requests that the obsolete Ocropus
    package be withdrawn entirely.
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658478

    Sikuli has been updated to work with Tesseract 3.02. This is in
    Debian Unstable, it has not yet migrated to Debian testing.
