[Bug 1612835] [NEW] Please remove jasper from Zesty

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Tyler Hicks (tyhicks):

Jasper has been removed from Debian. It would be great if jasper's
source and all binary packages could be removed in Ubuntu before 17.04
is released. Jasper has a long security history and shouldn't remain,
unmaintained, in universe.

As of 2017-02-10, all reverse depends in Zesty have been updated to drop
dependencies on jasper:

$ reverse-depends -b src:jasper
No reverse dependencies found


== Original Report ==

# reverse-depends -b src:jasper
Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* digikam                       (for libjasper-dev)
* kde4libs                      (for libjasper-dev)
* kimageformats                 (for libjasper-dev)
* kopete                        (for libjasper-dev)

The last 4 are KDE stuff. Since these packages have already removed
their jasper dependency in Debian, you should be able to just copy
what's already been done.

February 2017 Update
====================
Here are the remaining commits from Debian that need to be applied in Ubuntu:
