The libjpeg8 package has been in and out of Testing several times since 
early 2015. It was removed just before Jessie went stable, so it ended 
up missing: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libjpeg8

My current Testing setup started years ago, so the last/latest version 
of that package (8d1-2) is still installed. It doesn't cause any 
problems here. I'm not sure exactly why it was removed from Testing (no 
time to investigate at present - sorry), but it could have something to 
do with libjpeg/libjpeg-turbo conflicts.

You could pick it up from the snapshot archive as well and try to 
install it manually 
(http://snapshot.debian.org/package/libjpeg8/8d1-2/#libjpeg8_8d1-2). 
Don't proceed if doing that causes lots of other packages to be removed, 
though.

Frank
