Hi Bill, We (the RT and security team) have on numerous occasions chosen to only ship and support at most one implementation of a given interface/program/etc. It happens on a regular basis. > IJG libjpeg62 has been in Debian for more than 15 years. > IJG libjpeg62 is still required for building LSB packages.

AFAICT, it cannot be 1) given that the lsb packages seems to depend on libjpeg62-turbo. So I am guessing you mean 2)? In which case, you seem to have failed to mention this to the tech-ctte when the issue was brought before them in [#717076]. At least a quick search suggests that only Simon McVittie ever mentions LSB. Though by all means, please prove me wrong if I missed it - I did not re-read the entire thread. If you indeed failed to mention it, then I suggest you ask the tech-ctte to reconsider their position. Our decision will remain unchanged unless the tech-ctte amends their decision.
