It's not possible to start Plone if PIL is not installed currently

is generally as easy as installing python (whether you use your distro
packages or sompile from source). It can also be as easy as doing:
easy_install -f http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ Imaging
That is actually not true: the success of that command is bound to be
highly dependant on the development packages of the various graphic
toolks you have installed.
that's what I meant by saying earlier that PIL isn't necessarily
trivial to install. But anyway, I consider my original question
answered: it wasn't introduced on purpose in the first place but
now that a security-related issue depends on it anyway (the
portrait checking) people are willing to accept this.
So we live with it from now on.
