This is a good start. However, the package should also build libjpeg-dev or whatever is appropriate so that the transition can be completely tested. It would also be good to have all of the packages which depend on libjpeg-dev built with this transition package, and a select few tested without being rebuilt.[1] Finally, what is the status of upstream supporting SmartScale? What are the downsides of Debian not supporting it?
