I think they mean this:
http://www.mediasupervision.de/~flight/python/policy/FrontPage

It describes how python related packages shuld be named and where they
should put their file and so on. I'm not sure whether that really is
official, I just found it with google :).

So the package simply doesn't conform to that policy.

I have no idea. PIL is split into several packages anyway:
python-imaging, python-imaging-sane, python-imaging-tk and
python-imaging-doc. If there are problems with the sane part only that
package would have to be removed.
