Hi Emilio, thanks for your bug report.

Adding it to amule-daemon Depends will do nothing, since it's disabled
at build time (and, also, adding it to Build-Depends will *not* make
ever other package depend on it).

The problem is that the configure script chokes on versions which are
not X.Y.Z, like the current 1.2.15beta5, thus disabling libpng support
(despite what the "Libraries aMule will use to build" section says).

I've added a patch to fix this behavior:

  
http://people.debian.org/~adeodato/code/packages/amule/debian/patches/configure_proper_libpng_detection.diff

I'm building a new version of the package right now.

I'm not registered in the forum, so I cannot comment there; feel free to
share this diagnostic and/or patch there.

Cheers,
