I don't really think this is necessary, but some people seem to.

Looks fine?

libjpeg-turbo is a derivative of libjpeg that uses MMX, SSE, SSE2, and NEON
SIMD instructions to accelerate baseline JPEG compression/decompression by
about 2-4x on x86, x86-64, and ARM platforms. It is based on libjpeg/SIMD but
has numerous enhancements.

All users are recommended to migrate:

# emerge -C media-libs/jpeg:0
# emerge -1 media-libs/libjpeg-turbo

>From here on out media-libs/jpeg:0 is only used as a fallback and at the time
of writing this news item, libjpeg-turbo has no known bugs that would require
using it.
