Yes, the dependency is wrong, but the executable will still work:

$ head /var/lib/dpkg/info/libjpeg*.shlibs
==> /var/lib/dpkg/info/libjpeg6a.shlibs <==
libjpeg 6a libjpeg6a
libjpeg 6a libjpeg6a

==> /var/lib/dpkg/info/libjpegg6a.shlibs <==
libjpeg 6a      libjpeg6a

A shlibs.local will fix it though.

I think the library is broken.  It does use libc functions, for
example fopen:

femto[~]$ nm -D /usr/lib/libpaper.so.1.0.2  | grep fopen
         U fopen

All libraries must have an explicit dependency on one of libc, libm,
or libdl.  If you link with this library you'll be running a library
compiled for libc5 with libc6, giving unpredictable results.
