Well, that's one way, but that doesn't really provide any benefit above the
original solution (i.e. just define the JPEG_INCLUDES and JPEG_LIBRARIES
variables accordingly).

Either that or you define it yourself:
find_package(JPEG)
if (JPEG_FOUND)
add_library(JPEG::JPEG UNKNOWN IMPORTED)
set_property(
TARGET JPEG::JPEG
PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION ${JPEG_LIBRARIES}
)
set_property(
TARGET JPEG::JPEG PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${JPEG_INCLUDES}
)
endif()
I admit it's not a huge benefit over just using the variables. The advantages:
- you get slightly better error handling
- your target_link_libraries commands are slightly more readable.

That will work, too.
Cheers,
