It depends on whether this is compression that we want globally for all packages or not. If it's something that can sanely be done globally, it could just be put into dh_compress. But it sounds like optipng is too slow to want to run it on packages that are not known to benefit. So a separate dh_ utility, or a dh_compress option would be better. If it was to be included in debhelper, I'd probably lean toward a dh_compress option. If you want to put a dh_grxcompress in some other package, that would also be ok. I'm also uncertian from this thread whether the best compression options for a given package's pngs will vary, or always be the same. If it's something that has to be tuned to each package to get best/not too expensive results, or if it doesn't get used in many packages, a debhelper command is not the best avenue. My suggestion would probably be, put the commands in packages directly; if a commonality emerges, that can be factored out into a debhelper command later. -- see shy jo
