Hello,

libturbojpeg.so is part of the upstream distribution of turbojpeg, but is removed by the PKGBUILD of the libjpeg-turbo package.

This is very confusing given that libturbojpeg.so is used by various pieces of software, notably software written by TurboJPEG's author.

As a result I believe that libturbojpeg.so, which is part of TurboJPEG, should be reinstated in libjpeg-turbo.
Failing that, it would be appropriate to rename the package so it is clear that this is *not* the full TurboJPEG.

Thanks
This task depends upon

That library will not be distributed as part of the libjpeg-turbo package as it is unversioned.
