Hi Gianfranco, what bothers me is that having a real libpng-dev package requires us to go through NEW. I'd avoid NEW-processing at this point of time, as its processing is non-deterministic and might eat up significant amount of time left until the freeze... And time is running fast. At the moment no package requires a versioned dependency on libpng-dev anyway, so IMHI that can be deferred to a later time. (I believe having a real libpng-dev package is a good idea, so lets go for it, cleared from NEW via experimental *once* libpng16 is is sid) At this point of time, I think we're in better control when manually uploading libpng12 and libpng16 in a coordinated way.
