Hello Matthias,
I received a new Debian report.
It is not Debian specific so I forward it to you so you can include the
patch in jhead.
Bye,

Dear Maintainer,
The -n option used to rename only files with mostly digits in their
names. Some of that code is still present, but it has been disabled.
I would rather the functionality be restored. Failing that, the
documentation should reflect what the program actually does. I
suggest the attached patch, which deletes any mention of the "mostly
digits" test.

This option causes files to be renamed and/ or mmoved using the date
information from the Exif header "DateTimeOriginal" field. If the file
is not an Exif file, or the DateTimeOriginal does not contain a valid
-value, the file date is used. Renaming is by default restricted to
-files whose names consist largely of digits. This effectively restricts
-renaming to files that have not already been manually renamed, as the
-default sequential names from digital cameras consist largely of digits.
-Use the
-.B \-n
-option to force renaming of all files. If the new name contains a '/',
+value, the file date is used. If the new name contains a '/',
this will be interpreted as a new path, and the file will be moved
accordingly.
