Because the library is called "libopenjp2.so.7":
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libopenjp2-7/filelist
Why is the library named like that? You have to ask upstream about
that. I smell a SO name conflict in there somewhere.

Was: because it was the name of the library in the past. Debian Jessie
is the last Version of Debian containing both libopenjpeg2 and
libopenjp2.
Is: There is not, at least in Testing and Unstable. If you still have the
package, then maybe because you have libavcodec-ffmpeg56 or libavcodec56
installed, both still depend on it.
