Thanks for your report - Will the rotated image still have it's
thumbnail correct (and that also rotated) if used without the '-g'
option?

To me it looks like exiftran is unmaintained both in Debian and
upstream, so the best course of action would probably be to migrate it
to exiftool from the libimage-exiftool-perl package.

But then, the very best idea might really be to simply drop these
debian-specific scripts (since they don't work like they are supposed to
anyway).
