Bug#717076: tech-ctte: Decide what jpeg library the Debian project will use
Hello Don,
I am just checking whether the tech-ctte has all the info they need to
make informed decision on this bug, or do you need any extra input? E.g.
take all the time you need, but I want to be sure that it's not stalled
on my or Mike's side and you are waiting for something from us now.
Cheers,
Ondrej
