The CTTE made it clear I was only required to remove the Provides: libjpeg-dev
It did not authorise you to hijack the libjpeg8 and libjpeg62 binaries, and
you should not have made a plan that required it.

Hijacking binary packages that are still provided by other sources is extremely
crude. At the minimum, you should have waited for me to stop providing them
before uploading to unstable.

Please abide by the CTTE decision and revert that.  You cannot ask me to obey
the CTTE decision while blatantly disregarding it.

You have been bullying me from the start, but this tops it all.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
