I personally think that it is the same issue/bug.
The original issue should have been labeled "openJDK crashes JVM when 
libjpeg cannot be found" even if the title is misleading "wrong 
hardcoded path", changing the hardcoded path from libjpeg.so to 
libjpeg62.so and adding a dependency on libjpeg62 in openjdk-6-jre was 
the fix.
The dependency has been put in the wrong place, it should have been 
open-jdk-6-jre-*headless*. IMHO, it is the same bug.
But developers are sensitive persons, and it was out  for this reason 
that I asked the question :-)
I basically don't care as long as someone fixes the issue and no other 
person making a choice of going Ubuntu or Windows goes back to Windows 
because of such bugs.
I decided to switch to Ubuntu Server from Windows for our prod JIRA 
server and was very close to go back because of this bug (20 JVM crashes 
a day does not make you confident about a system).

Best regards,
Christophe Pierret
