Title:
  Embedded jpg exported to EPS/PDF as non-jpeg (JPEGs are stored
  /FlateDecode instead of /DCTDecode)

Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Embedding jpg images in a svg file works beautifully. Exporting the same to
  an eps or a pdf is a pain. The image is actually converted to a lossless
  tiff image, blowing up the file size immensly. The only thing to reduce the
  file size lateron is to go via pdf2ps and ps2pdf, which encodes all the
  internal raster images as jpg. This doubles the amount of jpg-artefacts and
  I loose every control over which raster images should be compressed in
  which way.

  Postscript level 2 does allow embedding JPG (see
  http://www.pdflib.com/products/more/jpeg2ps.html)
