On the other hand, it will break any package that has a 
versioned dependency on libpng12-0-dev (I don't know if there are

It is better to check it now, and file grave bugs against these 
packages, or revert the change of package name.


You should check the Depends: field in Packages.gz and Build*Depends: 
field from Sources.gz
