Bug Description

open-jdk-6-jre-headless does not depend on libjpeg62.
If libjpeg62 is not installed, using any jpeg function in the openjdk-6-jre-headless makes the JVM crash.
Steps to reproduce:
1) install a Ubuntu 8.10 JeOS server on VMWare Player
2) sudo aptitude install tomcat6
3) install JIRA (from Atlassian http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/JIRADownloadCenter.jspa) as WAR/EAR file on tomcat6
4) create a bug in JIRA and attach a JPEG file to it
=> openjdk 6 JRE JVM crashes

Installing libjpeg62 fixes the crash.

The issue seem related to an incomplete fix in bug 195458:

openjdk-6 (6b14-0ubuntu7) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Call dh_desktop. LP: #309999.
  * Add dependency on libjpeg62 for the -headless package. LP: #318383.
  * Test some jtreg tests which fail in samevm mode in a separate VM.
  * Build all with -fno-stack-protector -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
  * Include jtr files of failed tests in the -jdk package.
