Package: libimage-exiftool-perl
Version: 12.57+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Debian bullseye contained version 12.16 of exiftool, which was labeled by 
upstream as a production release.

Debian bookworm was released with version 12.57 of exiftool, which is labeled 
by upstream as a development release.

List of production and development releases can be seen here 
https://exiftool.org/history.html

Quoting from that page, it says "Note: The most recent production release is 
Version 12.60. (Other versions are considered development releases, and are not 
uploaded to MetaCPAN.)"

Please think about upgrading the version of exiftool in debian bookworm to 
12.60 (production release) during a debian point release, so that we're not 
stuck with a development release for the lifetime of debian bookworm.
