A new upstream release that provides versionned symbols has been released (6b1) and I have prepared the Debian packages. This release has an updated build system which is already a big improvement. Gentoo and Arch have moved to libjpeg8 but they are source distributions, so they handle ABI breakage more easily. Mandriva has already moved to libjpeg8 and did not had much trouble with it (though the versionned symbols clash caused chromium upstream binary to crash). Also I found out that Adobe flash plugin is not linked (dynamically) with libjpeg, so there is probably not much binary-only plugins dynamically linked against non-symbols versionned libjpeg62 in use.
