Part of the confusion is the message "You need to install the perl-doc
package to use this program.", which is NOT issued by exiftool. There
must be a perldoc stub which is generating this message. The message
does not refer to exiftool.
So perl-doc is not a dependency. But I see no problem adding it to the
recommended packages.

Mari,
When installed and run from the command line exiftool reports:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ exiftool
You need to install the perl-doc package to use this program.
Run 'perldoc exiftool' for help on exiftool.
I understand that perl-doc isn't required to use the tool,
once you know how it works, however it is confusing the first time one
runs the application from the command line, which many would
consider normal operation.
I think libimage-exiftool-perl should either Depends: or Recommends:
perl-doc.
