Thanks for forwarding the issue to recurser/exif-orientation-examples :
https://github.com/recurser/exif-orientation-examples/issues/4
Let's see what they say.

Ok, good, thanks for the details!

I've asked upstream for clarification [0]. If there isn't a
satisfactory answer I could either exclude these images and the
associated tests or provide alternative images for the tests.

Some of the functionality, e.g. face detection, depends on OpenCV.
OpenCV has only recently added support for Python 3, and this has not
yet been packaged for Debian (even the python-opencv package in
Experimental still seems to be for Python 2). So I could provide a
python3 package, but it seemed better to wait for a python3-opencv
package to become available.

Hello Christopher,

- d/copyright :
  * "Source: https://github.com/torchbox/Willow/archive/v0.3.1.tar.gz; : you
should point to the URL of the project rather than the versionned tarball
itself, I guess.
  * identify -verbose  ./tests/images/orientation/landscape_4.jpg|grep -i copy
   icc:copyright: Copyright 2007 Apple Inc., all rights reserved.
Several other images have such exif data.
Maybe you can check with upstream about the entire directory.

- d/rules : * you can discard comments added by the generator
- lintians : for Informational "vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri" : "Note that you 
can
  often just exchange e.g. git:// with https:// for repositories."
