Public bug reported:

On https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/exiv2 I see that
Ubuntu 22.04 currently includes exiv2 0.27.3

Exiv2 v0.27.5 includes support for Canon *.CR3 image files. The CR3 file
format has been the Canon camera-raw file format since mid 2018, and is
probably one of the most common raw image file formats today.
Applications such as darktable, amongst others, use exiv2 to extract
image metadata, thumbnails and previews, and can only open CR3 files
when linked with exiv2 0.27.5 or later.

Note that exiv2 0.27.5 needs to be built with -DEXIV2_ENABLE_BMFF=On to
enable *.CR3 support.

Would it be possible to get Exiv2 v0.27.5 with BMFF support enabled
included in Ubuntu 22.04?

Note that a similar request exists for Debian in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1000788
