Comment 0 for bug 907113

libjpeg-turbo is an ABI compatible, faster implementation for libjpeg8; it was packaged by Linaro, and is part of the linaro-overlays for the Linaro 11.11 release.

 - The packaging looks ok, the code is maintained upstream.
 - The source code looks fine, no binaries run as suid.
 - There are currently no bugs reported
 - The package is not yet found in Debian
 - The packaging is done in a way that the change to replace libjpeg8 can be
   easily reverted by an libjpeg8 upload, just in case that some unexpected
   issues are found with libjpeg-turbo.
