I'd like to suggest to remove libjpeg-mmx, it adds libjpeg code duplication
requiring duplicate DSAs for libjpeg security problems, only provides static

gains are marginal.
libjpeg-mmx has long been removed from Debian, but I will try to provide
some fresh arguments.
1. Real "upstream" is the same for libjpeg62 and libjpeg-mmx. Both are
derived from 6b release by the Independent JPEG Group.
2. The first point means that most security fixes for libjpeg62 can be
cherry-picked for libjpeg-mmx.
3. It looks like a variant of libjpeg-mmx from [A] provides up to double
performance boost for ZoneMinder GPL'd video surveilance suite. Details
here [B].
What is necessary to revive the package, if at all possible?
