As the subject says, libtiff4 currently depends on libjpeg62, while 
libtiff4-dev 
depends on libjpeg-dev which is only provided by libjpeg8-dev.  So there's a 
version mismatch there.

Perhaps all that's needed is a binary-only NMU of the tiff source package -- it 
looks like it builds fine against libjpeg8 with the current Build-Depends.

Or alternatively, could the depends on libjpeg-dev be dropped entirely?  The 
only (good) reason for including it would be if TIFF headers directly include 
JPEG headers, or for some reason any libtiff-using program would also 
automatically need to link directly against libjpeg.  And as far as I can tell 
with a brief grep through the headers, neither is the case.
