Please unblock package geeqie

Geeqie has two rotation plugins that are maintained in Debian, and
hasn't been forwarded upstream, and these call exiftran in a way that
has started to make exiftran segfault. Bug in geeqie: ##1108681 and in
exiftran: #1108680 .

[ Reason ]
Working around a bug in exiftran - the call to exiftran segfaults when
using -g, so this removes this from the exiftran calls. Exiftran itself
is QA-maintained in Debian, and seems to have only few fixes lately
upstream, so I find this the simplest solution. Having a small look at
the bug in exiftran I haven't had any luck in finding a solution, my
debugging didn't find a good solution.

[ Impact ]
The lossless rotation of jpegs in geeqie doesn't work.

[ Tests ]
Tried the fix, and it does work around the segfault.

[ Risks ]
Trivial changes that doesn't affect other stuff than the plugins for
geeqie.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
It seems like these plugins are useful for the users, and this is a
better solution than dropping them completely. During the forky release
cycle I will see what upstream says about them and forward or remove
them.
