There aren't any abi changes in mjpegtools and there's about two headers gone and two new so these programs that build with 1.9.0 should 
build with mjpegutils.2..0.0 unless they have a problem with any of the changed headers. Programs compiled against 1.9.0 should be able to 
run with 2.0.0 according to the abi checking tool, I tested it with libpython3 "3.1 to 3.2" and it's spot on with the documented abi 
changes. If I had a web site, I could post the html reports.
The changed headers are :
-/usr/include/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc/ontheflyratectlpass1.hh
-/usr/include/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc/ontheflyratectlpass2.hh
+/usr/include/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc/ontheflyratectl.hh
+/usr/include/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc/pass1ratectl.hh
+/usr/include/mjpegtools/mpeg2enc/pass2ratectl.hh
Interestingly, one of these headers and it's predecessor has a symbol redefinition error.

Mjpegtools almost gets a clean bill of health, just two headers with symbol redefinition, which look to me like they're most probably 
missing an "#ifdef" and the lack of proper so versioning. I think the libs should be .so.0.2.0 due to a couple of api additions and 
changes. The next place to check would most probably be gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad or where ever the mjpegtools dependency has moved. The 
mjpegtools pkgconfig file seems lacking "-l" statements for some of the libs which aren't linked to libmjpegutils even. I'll patch that.
The mjpegtools19 devel package conflicts the 2.0.0 devel package almost everywhere and needs fixing. Like I said, I'm unable to install 
packages built in my home project so I can't test installation problems.
