For me there needs to be more feedback to the user, so that they *can* 
observe what's happening

1) display both the string reported by exiv2 and the string from 
lensfun it loosely matches

2) display the correction parameters so that they can see they're 
nonzero or even modify them manually (I know that's been rejected 
before)

Strict rules wouldn't great- I have one that only matches because of 
the loose matching rules. If you went that way, it would be good to have 
a local aliasing system so you only have to educate it once about your 
lens.

One other thing to chime in with here. Try turning lens correction 
module on and off when it doesn't have a match for the camera. The image 
doesn't noticeably change, but the histogram does!
