I need to clarify the libjpeg-progs built from the libjpeg8 source package is
not a dummy package. Unfortunately it has been hijacked by the libjpeg-turbo
package and replaced by a dummy (as I understand) package. But if you rebuild
the libjpeg8 source package you still get the non-dummy libjpeg-progs package.

If this is awkward to you, it is awkward to me too.
