Public bug reported:

[Availability]

libimage-exiftool-perl is already available in Universe and is
architecture-independent, therefore available for all supported
architectures.

[Rationale]

libimage-exiftool-perl is used by the debian/license-miner script in the
Ghostscript package which is run at build time. It separates
copyright/license data from binary files (images, fonts, ...) and drops
them in separate text files so that the licensecheck utility of the
devscripts package can find all copyrights and licenses of the
Ghostscript upstream source. So this package is needed by the current
ghostscript package as synced from Debian.

[Security]

No open or solved security issues or CVEs found.

This is a standard Perl library package consisting of only Perl code and
documentation packaged in the standard way for Perl libraries. There is
no SUID, SGID, /usr/sbin/*, daemons, does not listen on any port.

[Quality assurance]

Simple Perl library package, no direct user interaction, no UI or GUI,
contains only the usual *.pm and *.pl files. API is documented by man
pages.

No debconf questions asked during install.

Only one Ubuntu bug, no open Debian bugs.

Package is maintained, there are regular package uploads. Upstream
version is the current one.

watch file is included.

[Dependencies]

Nothing special, only standard build tools which are in Main.

[Standards compliance]

Library package packaged following the standards for Perl libraries. no
UI/GUI .

[Maintenance]

Regular uploads by the package maintainer. Current package upstream
version is the actually current upstream version.

[Background information]

build process of the Ghostscript package.
