Again, that isn't *that* bad, since they are Architecture: all packages,
that's why I'm not sure about the severity, I let that to doxygen's
maintainer.

Following upstream's suggestions[1], using -Tpng:gs gives a rather
satisfying result:

Current (-Tpng, through cairo):
  $ find -name "*.png*" -print0 | xargs -0 du -hsc|tail -n 1
  108M    total

With the patch (-Tpng:gd, through gd):
  $ find -name "*.png*" -print0 | xargs -0 du -hsc|tail -n 1
  13M     total

Here it comes.
