Well, printbill and penguin-command have very recently elevated severities
(as in, an hour ago), so maybe the maintainers should be given a day or
two.  Zero-day NMUs certainly seem appropriate for tuxpuck and xnecview.

Well, we've done a little detangling by avoiding the libpng shlibs bump; the
hope was to put the things 'broken by' new libpng through *before* new
libpng rather than having to do it simultaneously -- hence my describing
them as different tangles, even though they have the same original cause.

The old libgtkxmhtml-perl depended on libpng10-0 directly, and libpng10-0
goes away when new libpng gets in.
