Version: 6b-16.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
Ghostscript currently[1] use a local copy of libjpeg. This is explained
in the following snippet from its documentation:
> we have also provided the ability to [link against system library]
> with the JPEG library (SHARE_JPEG), but should not use it: in order to

> standard exactly), Ghostscript has to compile the IJG code with the

For security reasons I would prefer that the Debian packaging of
Ghostscript could link against the shared libjpeg library, which brings
me to this request:
Please provide a variant of libjpeg with above definition declared, so
that Ghostscript (and perhaps other projects as well?) can use the
shared code while still staying compatible with non-standard Adobe
Postscript files.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
