[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#570381: Please do not depend on libjpeg8-dev (yet)

[Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.2-8
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Heya,

Your package currently fails to build on most archs as it build-deps
both on libtiff4-dev and libjpeg8-dev. The former is now, in the course
of the libjpeg8 rollback, depending on libjpeg62-dev again and will
continue to do so in the foreseeable future.

Please change the dep to libjpeg-dev or at least libjpeg62-dev | libjpeg-dev.
It is perfectly fine to build-dep only libjpeg-dev as long only one package 
provides libjpeg-dev - believe me, I wear a buildd maintainer, release wizard
and lintian maintainer hat while I'm writing this.

Anyway, a current build log:
