Thanks, will keep it in mind for the next upload.

It's in upstream Changes for 10.20:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libimage-exiftool-perl.git/diff/Changes?id=e69ad9a9aaf69a446229e1a2291af09451705df2
+  - Fixed column alignment of alternate-language output (requires
+    Unicode::GCString to be installed)

and in the README as well:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libimage-exiftool-perl.git/diff/README?id=e69ad9a9aaf69a446229e1a2291af09451705df2
+  Unicode::GCString    (for column-alignment of alternate language output)

And Unicode::GCString is in libunicode-linebreak-perl which is
probably the not-immediately-obvious part :)


Cheers,
gregor
