Just to report further: I tried to install the ubuntu libjpeg8
libjpeg8_8c-2ubuntu8_amd64.deb,
but then hit further problems:
libjpeg8:amd64 depends on libjpeg-turbo8

I then added libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
but then:
error processing archive libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing libjpeg-turbo8:amd64

It seems that debian has instead:
libturbojpeg0

So Ubuntu and debian seem to be using different package names. I could
probably sort all this out if I had the time to refresh my memory
about packaging. But is does not seem to be straight forward to
use the Ubuntu packages in Debian.

Meanwhile, I will get my scanner out and retest: despite the broken
packages, I think there is a chance that it might now work.
