Incidentally, I use flphoto to sort through pictures -- mainly just to turn them upright. One of its unusual merits is that it can losslessly rotate the pictures. That is, instead of reading and decompressing a jpeg, rotating it, and then re-encoding a new jpeg, it operates on the compressed jpeg data directly.
Maybe you already knew this, but jpegtran also does lossless rotation, and it's available in Debian's libjpeg-progs. In fact, all of jpegtran's image processing is performed on the DCT blocks.

If your camera has an orientation sensor, then you can use "jhead" with the "-autorot" option to automatically rotate pictures that need rotating.

I usually do all my image processing through one big fully automated shell script. This takes care of most of what I need to do. And only a small select number of pictures ever need manual post processing.
