JFTR I will list the consequences of any renaming that would happen:
1. libjpeg-turbo62 (as an example) would still contain shared library
libjpeg.so.62, thus it needs to "Conflicts/Provides: libjpeg62", same
applies for the libjpeg62-dev package vs libjpeg-turbo62-dev
("Conflicts/Provides: libjpeg62-dev)
2. Thus libjpeg62 and libjpeg62-dev from src:libjpeg6b will be
uninstallable because libjpeg-turbo62 is a default JPEG library in
Debian and therefore it will be almost always present in the system
where JPEG library is needed. Well, even my stripped down KVM server box
has libjpeg library since qemu-kvm depends on it[1]. Installation of
libjpeg62 from src:libjpeg6b will be possible only in a very specialized
scenarios where the system is stripped down to a bare minimum.
3. yet another transition will be started and buildd cycles spent
