libjpeg62-dev have to stay for *building* LSB package. 

But anyway this whole discussion is a distraction. The only real issue is
whether we transition all package build-depending on libjpeg*-dev at once, or
whether we transition first the one that build-depend on libjpeg-dev.

In the first case, I rename the current libjpeg62-dev to libjpeg6b-dev and 
change libjpeg8-dev to provide libjpeg62-dev and conflict with libjpeg6b-dev.

In the second case, we have to fix all packages that _Depends_ on 
libjpeg62-dev to depend on libjpeg-dev instead.

Following the instructions given in 
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/09/msg00216.html>
I implemented the second solution, but I have no objection with
implementing the first one if the release team change its mind.
