Try deborphan --guess-dev. Deborphan reports packages without anything
depending on them. Since pretty much every application you run doesn't
have anything depending on it, it'd show you a damned big list, and
therefore deborphan defaults to only showig you things in the "libs"
section. libjpeg62-dev isn't in libs, it's in libdevel, because it's
not a library -- it's the code required to compile against that
library. So --guess-devel will also check in the libdevel section (I
think).

The short version of this is: rtfm. ;-)
