I have packaged this already, just have not submitted the patch yet. FLANN (T2943) is required to build this package and was submitted but needs to be repackaged.
This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 6 months now. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.
