It is not correct to say that there are broken dependencies in Debian. Instead libjpeg62-dev and libjpeg8-dev conflicts because they both contain files with the same name in /usr/include, so they cannot be installed at the same time. Since libjpeg-dev is an alias for libjpeg62-dev, the same holds for libjpeg-dev and libjpeg8-dev. There is no way around it.
