@ubuntu release team

In Debian deferred/2 queue now there is a refactored libpng16 with
*real* libpng-dev package, and dropped libpng16-dev one.

Since we want to have only one libpng at each time, I don't think it is
a good idea to provide a libpngSONAME-dev package, specially because
people will use it, and make the transition always difficult.

Of course this is out of xenial scope, so I propose:
leave things as is for xenial, without libpng-dev provided or real..
After xenial, sync libpng1.6 from Debian and start the transition before the 
next Ubuntu Stable.
(the transition in Debian will start probably in a month or so, even if I have 
no authoritative answer from release team yet, after the package will be 
accepted in experimental I'll wait for the ack).
