python-imaging is a transitional package. If your package works without
it, please don't change the dependency dh_python2 generates from
requires.txt file.

PS please note that you should not use package generated in Jessie on
Wheezy (different list of supported Python versions) and dh_python2 on
Wheezy will generate python-imaging dependency
