- the sources contain an embedded libtiff. is it needed? is it used for
the build?

- the libjpeg8 source README reads:


FILE FORMAT WARS
================

The ISO JPEG standards committee actually promotes different formats like
"JPEG 2000" or "JPEG XR" which are incompatible with original DCT-based
JPEG and which are based on faulty technologies.  IJG therefore does not
and will not support such momentary mistakes (see REFERENCES).
We have little or no sympathy for the promotion of these formats.  Indeed,
one of the original reasons for developing this free software was to help
force convergence on common, interoperable format standards for JPEG files.
Don't use an incompatible file format!
(In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading existing JPEG
image files indefinitely.)


do we want libopenjpeg2 in main? currently we only have as rdepends of 
libopenjdk2:

Reverse Depends:
  libavcodec-extra-52
  mupdf
  libgmerlin-avdec1
  gpac
  blender
