Dear Release Team, 

I had another look at the upstream changes between the versions 0.2.3 and 0.2.5. There are hardly any changes. The most important one is:

   * libkexif/kexifutils.cpp: Applied patch provided by Marc Espie,
          who discovered a loss of data in OpenBSD. Although it's hard to
          get in linux it can be happen.

I can not determine how that problem impacts Debian. I leave the final discision to you.
