I don't even see libpng16-dev in Ubuntu, even in wily, the current
development release. libpng is a core library, you can't just brutally
upgrade that to a new upstream version without risking breaking
anything. You'll risk breaking tons of packages. Something as important
as libpng needs a proper transition.

Then we're out of luck. There is no way you can upload the package
that way to Debian, sorry.

Then we'll have to wait until the libpng16 transition has happened.
