Yes, that's what I think, too. And, I also think the distro  
maintainers should decide whether libjpeg-turbo is used on the distro  
and also whether libjpeg is fully replaced by libjpeg-turbo or whether  
libjpeg-turbo is an option for the distro users.

Unfortunately, Debian does not have libjpeg-turbo in SID yet.

I am not sure on this...

Currently, I think, offering the packages for Debian in the nightly  
repositories should be all we do. People have a .deb based  
installation source for the library (which we already do for Debian  
squeeze, wheezy and sid) and once installed, people can use  
dpkg-divert to select which JPEG lib they can use. As long as we do  
not have proper test results and a proof that libjpeg-turbo is a great  
enhancement, we should not customize X2Go to use it.

Once we have test results, the distros may already have incorporated  
it in their archives and this discussion becomes pointless, anyway...

Greets,
Mike
