Also, it appears my list was truncated.

The following package should be fine for a binNMU: I did a test-build with
pbuilder on i386 this morning.

dcraw 8.86-1
grace 5.1.22-2
hasciicam 1.0-1
htmldoc  1.8.27-4.1
inventor 2.1.5-10-14
libsfml  1.5+repack1-3
nxcomp   3.2.0-7-1.1
steghide 0.5.1-9
vtk      5.2.1-14
xjig     2.4-13

Here the list of packages that cause conflicts due to dependencies on
libjpeg62-dev:

libcupsimage2-dev
libdirectfb-dev
libdjvulibre-dev
libgd2-noxpm-dev
libgdal1-dev
libhdf5-serial-dev
libqt3-mt-dev
libsane-dev
libsdl-image1.2-dev
libtiff4-dev
libwmf-dev
libwraster3-dev

They should be updated to Depends and Build-Depends on libjpeg-dev instead.
Unfortunately that is likely to cause packages build-depending on libjpeg62-dev
to fail to build, so they will need to be fixed too.
