If I am creating a package and the program adds features if compiled

It should be a dependency, yes. We try to make packages produce the
same thing on every platform. (The exception is OpenSSL, you should
make a foo-ssl package and disable SSL support in foo)
Or should I leave it for the user to decide how it should be compiled?
For example, if my software can read png, jpeg, and tiff if compiled
with their libs, should I make it build-depend on libjpeg and depend
on libjpeg-shlibs? Or should I just have a line Suggests: libjpeg?
