So I do not think it is fair to restrict JPEG support in Debian to 1998 image

According to this mail by the Fedora KDE maintainer, ISO rejected the latest changes introduced by libjpeg8:

Why should Debian use a library which generates non-standard JPEG files?

And it's even worse for libjpeg9, IIUC from that discussion in the Digikam mailing list.
