Comment 3 for bug 1419267

If there should not be a symlink to that file, then the fact that this package cannot be used to develop against turbojpeg should be documented somewhere. At a minimum it should be in the debian/changelog. I'd prefer that it is mentioned in debian/control.

I don't know what proprietary means for BSD-style licensed software. http://svn.code.sf.net/p/libjpeg-turbo/code/trunk/README-turbo.txt states the license clearly.

To anyone else who would like to work around this bug, run this command:

sudo ln -s libturbojpeg.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libturbojpeg.so

Now you will be able to link against turbojpeg with standard build tools which expect -lturbojpeg to work as a flag to ld.
