Please remove jasper from Zesty

[Jeremy Bícha]

Jasper has been removed from Debian. It would be great if jasper's source and all binary packages could be removed in Ubuntu before 17.04 is released. Jasper has a long security history and shouldn't remain, unmaintained, in universe.

As of 2017-02-10, all reverse depends in Zesty have been updated to drop dependencies on jasper:

$ reverse-depends -b src:jasper
No reverse dependencies found

== Original Report ==

# reverse-depends -b src:jasper
Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* digikam (for libjasper-dev)
* kde4libs (for libjasper-dev)
* kimageformats (for libjasper-dev)
* kopete (for libjasper-dev)

The last 4 are KDE stuff. Since these packages have already removed their jasper dependency in Debian, you should be able to just copy what's already been done.

February 2017 Update
====================
Here are the remaining commits from Debian that need to be applied in Ubuntu:
