Debian goes libjpeg-turbo 2.0.x [RFH]

I recently uploaded libjpeg-turbo 2.0.2-1~exp1 to Debian experimental. This has been the first upload of the 2.0.x release series of libjpeg-turbo.

After 3 further upload iterations (~exp4 that is), the package now builds on nearly all (except 3) architectures supported by Debian.

@all: Please Test

For those architectures that libjpeg-turbo 2.0.2-1~exp* is already available in Debian experimental, please start testing your applications on Debian testing/unstable systems with libjpeg-turbo 2.0.2-1~exp* installed from experimental. If you observe any peculiarities, please file bugs against src:libjpeg-turbo on Debian BTS. Thanks!

Please note: the major 2.x release series does not introduce an SOVERSION bump, so applications don't have to be rebuilt against the newer libjpeg-turbo. Simply drop-in-replace installed libjpeg62-turbo bin:pkg by the version from Debian experimental.

[RFH] FTBFS during Unit Tests

On the alphas, powerpc and sparc64 architectures, the builds [1] fail during unit tests:

301/302 Test #155: tjunittest-static-yuv-alloc .......................   Passed   60.08 sec
302/302 Test #156: tjunittest-static-yuv-nopad .......................   Passed   60.01 sec

99% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 302

Total Test time (real) = 121.40 sec

The following tests FAILED:
     83 - djpeg-shared-3x2-float-prog-cmp (Failed)
    234 - djpeg-static-3x2-float-prog-cmp (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
make[1]: *** [Makefile:133: test] Error 8

dh_auto_test: cd obj-sparc64-linux-gnu && make -j8 test ARGS\+=-j8 returned exit code 2
make: *** [debian/rules:40: build-arch] Error 255

As I am not so much a porter, nor a JPEG adept, I'll appreciate some help from people with more porting and/or JPEG experience. If you feel called to work on this, please ping me on IRC (OFTC) so we can coordinate our research. The packaging Git of libjpeg-turbo has recently been migrated to Salsa [2].
