Yes, this is normal. A lot of packages Build-Depends on libjpeg-dev. They must be built against libjpeg62 and not libjpeg8 for the time being, so it is not possible for libjpeg8-dev to provide libjpeg-dev for the time being. > such, only libjpeg62-dev can be installed unless the user wishes to > break the dependencies of certain packages.

Such upgrade should not happen before squeeze is released at the very least, due to a binary compatibility conflicts between libjpeg62 and libjpeg8 which is only solved in squeeze version of libjpeg62 (and not lenny, so upgrade would not work).
