libjpeg-mmx has long been removed from Debian, but I will try to provide some fresh arguments. 1. Real "upstream" is the same for libjpeg62 and libjpeg-mmx. Both are derived from 6b release by the Independent JPEG Group. 2. The first point means that most security fixes for libjpeg62 can be cherry-picked for libjpeg-mmx. 3. It looks like a variant of libjpeg-mmx from [A] provides up to double performance boost for ZoneMinder GPL'd video surveilance suite. Details here [B]. What is necessary to revive the package, if at all possible? A. http://cetus.sakura.ne.jp/softlab/jpeg-x86simd/jpegsimd.html B. http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6419 -- Sergey Yanovich
