Comment 4 for bug 75021

Here's an example of how removing libjpeg62 breaks python-imaging. The main problem is libjpeg62 was a dependency in dapper, but is not in edgy, so upgrading via aptitude causes libjpeg62 to be removed as "unused". This broke the web app running on the server being upgraded.
