The issue is not that libqt3-mt-dev and libtiff4-dev are Build-Depending on libjpeg-dev, but that they are _Depending_ on it. I did not anticipate that. 1) In my view, Packages should Depends and/or Build-Depends only on 'libjpeg-dev' and not on libjpeg62-dev, not on libjpeg8-dev and not on 'libjpeg62-dev|libjpeg-dev' and not on 'libjpeg8-dev|libjpeg-dev' etc. 2) This is still an unexpected breakage. There are about 48 such packages. I will what I can do to reduce the issue.
