Bug Description

The new tiff and tiff3 packages in Debian (tiff is currently in main) add JBIG support, using jbigkit. This is apparently because patents have expired (http://bugs.debian.org/667835). It would be good to sync these, but that'll require promoting jbigkit to main.

Availability: In quantal universe for amd64 and i386 (others are waiting to build).
Rationale: New dependency of tiff, see above.
Security: My searches haven't turned up any historical vulnerabilities. The upstream maintainer (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/) is a member of the Security Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, so hopefully it isn't too awful. :-)
QA: No configuration. No open bugs in Debian or Ubuntu. Debian maintainer is active and interested in having this work well in Ubuntu (judging by his questions on #ubuntu-devel today). Includes a test suite, run during build. Includes a debian/watch file.
Dependencies: All in main.
Standards compliance: Seems to be a simple modern library package, using dh. Looks sensible to me.
Maintenance: We can probably just keep this synced.

* Builds on quantal with only main
* Like Colin said, there is a test suite and it uses modern packaging techniques with a watch file, no Ubuntu delta
* package is up to date with no CVE history
* lintian clean
* nothing in the packaging which would require a security audit

The package does have the following compiler warnings:
