This will probably not make it really possible to actually link software
against libjpeg62, because in many cases an additional build-dependency
on libgtk2.0-dev and/or libtiff-dev is needed, and if those depend on
libjpeg-dev…

The alternative is to file many more RC bugs for packages that currently
build-depend on libjpeg62-dev. For instance, emacs23 is unbuildable
after the latest tiff upload.
