I just looked at
https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exiv2/exiv2_0.27.5-1.debian.tar.xz
and I don't think it enables BMFF at build time, so I don't think this will
enable CR3 support:

$ grep ENABLE debian/rules
-DEXIV2_ENABLE_NLS=ON \
-DEXIV2_ENABLE_VIDEO=ON \
-DEXIV2_ENABLE_WEBREADY=ON \

BMFF support was not enabled by default in 0.27-5 out of an abundance of
caution at the time that this feature was being worked on and possible
legal implications were being investigated. The situation has clarified
since then and it will be enabled by default in future Exiv2 versions.

Title:
  enable BMFF support in exiv2

Status in exiv2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in exiv2 package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  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
