My tool is very rough, and some recent tests show that is not sufficiently
generalized - it fails into some IA items; so I thing that it can
considered simply a proof that a tool, that uses IA jp2 images (that are
shown into the IA viewer IMHO) and djvy_xml can be merged into a
high-quality djvu file.

I added this issue to IA-upload tool on github:
https://github.com/Tpt/ia-upload/issues/14
Unfortunately, the new PDF > DJVU conversion is useless, as it loses too
much quality.
Can we find a solution?
The IA-Upload tool is a great asset for the whole international community,
and it's very simple to teach librarians to upload stuff on IA and then
use it to port it on Commons and Wikisource.
But when they upload new stuff on IA, we don't have the IA djvu anymore.
So the tool converts the original PDF to a new DJVU, and this is the part
of the process that is failing.
I can think of 2 solutions:
* integrate this script from Alex brollo into the tool:
https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Progetto:Bot/Programmi_in_
Python_per_i_bot/jp2todjvu.py
the script creates a good quality djvu
* have a toggle/top-down menu which allow the user to use directly the
PDF.
