Yep, both are present here -- I can only assume that is because this 
system, as I've mentioned in past threads but did not in this one, was 
originally installed when etch was testing, and has been steadily 
upgraded since then as each new distribution became testing, until 
Jessie became stable at which point I didn't upgrade to stretch because 
by that time this machine was doing important enough things for me that 
I didn't want downtime for breakages.

Interestingly, both show as "Automatically Installed" according to aptitude. And yet if nothing depends on them in Jessie, I would have expected them to be removed... 

"aptitude why" answers the question for one of them. libjpeg8 is 
depended on by libgphoto2-2. I assume that's also an old package but it 
is installed on my machine and not automatically, I must have asked for 
it at some point. That library is about digital cameras so I assume I 
was wrestling with getting a digital camera to work with the PC at some 
point in the past. I don't remember that but it's entirely possible. 
Presumably nothing in Jessie actually conflicts with either libgphoto2-2 
or libjpeg8.

Libtiff4 is a little bit more interesting. "aptitude why" says that it 
is installed because the Canon printer driver needs it (by the way 
libjpeg8 did *not* say that the Canon printer driver needed it) and 
nothing else. So I'm less sure about what it was doing on my system 
before this. But, happily, it was there.
