Hi Bill,
We (the RT and security team) have on numerous occasions chosen to only
ship and support at most one implementation of a given
interface/program/etc. It happens on a regular basis.

You mean to say that:
1. our lsb packages will FTBFS/be uninstallable in Jessie in the
absence of libjpeg62?
2. libjpeg62-turbo does not implement the [LSB 4.1 SPEC]?
AFAICT, it cannot be 1) given that the lsb packages seems to depend on
libjpeg62-turbo. So I am guessing you mean 2)? In which case, you seem
to have failed to mention this to the tech-ctte when the issue was
brought before them in [#717076].
At least a quick search suggests that only Simon McVittie ever
mentions LSB. Though by all means, please prove me wrong if I missed it
- I did not re-read the entire thread.
If you indeed failed to mention it, then I suggest you ask the tech-ctte
to reconsider their position. Our decision will remain unchanged unless
the tech-ctte amends their decision.
Yours truly,
~Niels
