Someone familiar with the JPEG algorithm (or some time to kill) would
have to check if it infringes on any of the claims upheld.  Without
doing that, it is hard to tell which side has won.  OTOH, I'm not sure
if Debian is willing to remove any JPEG implementations, so we should
probably close this bug.
