Since JasPer upstream [1] is quite unreliable I think about removing libjasper
from openSUSE repos. Debian removed libjasper with the release of Debian
Stretch [2] in 2017.

I try to motivate upstream to clean up its bugtracker and help fixing current
issues and CVEs while I work on the fixes, I would like to minimize JasPer
usage in openSUSE and use OpenJPEG [3] as a replacement when possible. OpenJPEG
upstream seems more active and other distributions rely on it too.
