Are these really the only ones? What about the 300+ packages that currently build-depend on libjpeg62-dev, could they safely switch to libjpeg-dev if the above packages were fixed? > I think they should be fixed to Build-Depends on libjpeg-dev and > Depends on libjpeg-dev|libjpeg62-dev, the '|libjpeg62-dev' being > necessary for building packages that Build-Depends on libjpeg62-dev.
