Comment(by Koen):
It's because the PIL setup.py is trying to be smart: it creates its own
list of search paths for includes & libs, and when it cannot find
jpeglib.h in the includes or libjpeg.so in the libraries search paths, it
will disable its own JPEG support. However, it does not check a common
place for 64-bit Linuxes (which are not Debian-based), so right now it is
too eager in disabling JPEG support.
Note that SciPy uses PIL to read JPEG images, so not having it working is
quite annoying.
