Hello,
Lenna images are not distributable and currently violanting the copyright of Playboy, some references:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lenna.png
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-non-free-img-lenna.html
http://bugs.debian.org/794854
there is already 5da2608#diff-8f9a4136c7213fb5de70d2a382ed8fbf which is in public domain, please let's use that one and remove Lenna from the repo and the distributed tarball.
Regards,
Sandro
