Hi Robin,

  There has been some work going on in openjpeg. They removed support
for the old autotools based makefile (at least no more official
support). They switch to cmake based system, and now openjpeg 1.x and
openjpeg 2.x can be parallel uinstallable using the following
convention:

/usr/include/openjpeg-1.4/openjpeg.h
/usr/include/openjpeg-2.0/openjpeg.h

I believe this would be a better long term solution, if debian could
switch to that convention. We could also install a symlink...
