I am sure you mean well but the CTTE decision does not require the

Well nothing in the archive depends on these packages and the
release/security team is usually not happy having multiple
implementations of almost the same library in the archive. libjpeg6b
and libjpeg8 were not in the jessie release for example.
Maybe, but this is not part of the CTTE decision.
libjpeg8 is needed for compatibility with wheezy.
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Users upgrading from wheezy can have locally built binaries that depend
on libjpeg8.
I'm not sure that Debian is supposed to support skipping a release while
upgrading, as said jessie, the current stable version, has not been
released with libjpeg8.
In any case, packages removal is not done by filling serious bug to them.
Well, this is more and more used since the packages get automatically
removed from testing if they have RC bugs.
