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? [Does Debian ship
any images which use it?]
1: You're probably already doing this, but details on the packages which
are known to work, and any which have problems would be important to
know.
