Not that I ever look at Linux Standard Base... but LSB 4.0 says
"libjpeg.so.62"
(http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_4.0.0/LSB-Desktop-generic/LSB-Desktop-generic/libjpeg62.html).
No idea about the future plans... I would argue for continuing with
IJG's libjpeg only for the curiosity of knowing what LSB does when
they find RedHat and SLE have binary incompatible libjpegs ;-)
