I have tried to look into this issue online and it seems that the history
of competing libjpegs is quite fraught and contentious.
At the moment, I don't know the answer. In Debian unstable, it looks like
the chosen dependency is libjpeg62-turbo, possibly via libjpeg-dev.
It seems like a bit of a mess. If it builds, then I would say that it is
probably OK, certainly from your point of view.

If anyone has a more definitive answer, then I would be glad to hear it! :D
