I have already apologized for not Ccing the plan explicitly, so you were
not aware of the plan. I have carefully drafted the plan, checked it
with
debian-devel and release team and I am very sorry that I did not sent
it to you explicitly.

I have just uploaded src:libjpeg-turbo 1:1.3.1-4 to unstable with
libjpeg-progs removed.

I am also willing to rename libjpeg62* with new package names even
though it would cancel current transition and start a new one and leave
the archive in the mess. But I have a feeling that's something that
needs to be decided by release team, since it's their area.

Also since libjpeg62* was already in oldlibs, I kindly ask you to
reconsider your position.

I am extremely sorry that you feel that way. I never intended to be
hostile to you before, during or after our dispute over default JPEG
library. Nor do I feel that bringing the dispute to tech-ctte could be
considered as bullying.
