Seems like a lot of work for little gain. Ubuntu developers should be
updating their repositories to the latest and greatest libjpeg fork,
not us.
If newer versions of Ubuntu are using libjpeg-turbo, why not? I'm certainly not
suggesting that we do something to increase the work load, but unless dpkg build scripts
are really that hard to work with (or if they don't support downloading source
archives during the build process, e.g. they require the package builder to download
beforehand), it shouldn't be that hard to simply update the package version in the
build script when queueing up the next release on the build server :-)
