To my information, this is because of the old libprotobuf shipped in 
Debian.

But:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/tree/wip/phako/enhanced-faces

- Get that branch
- run flatpak-builder --install build-dir 
flatpak/org.gnome.Shotwell.Faces1.json - this will also download the 
required neural network data
- Configure shotwell itself with -Dface-detection=true 
-Dface-detection-helper=false

At least that's the plan. There are still some minor issues due to 
sandboxing of the DBus daemon.
