With the sarge release delaying and more and more packages being rebuilt, I have noticed that there are very few packages using older versions of libpng2/libpng3 left. Therefore, I propose the following things: 1. The following packages still don't use versioned symbols: Aaron Lehmann <aaronl@vitelus.com>: pngcrush Aaron Lehmann <aaronl@vitelus.com>: zsnes Alan Bain <afrb2@debian.org>: xnecview Angel Ramos <seamus@debian.org>: knetfilter Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org>: qterm Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>: prestimel Christian T.

Don't change anything to the build dependencies, just upload a new version. If all libraries are rebuilt timely for sarge (that makes only 6 packages), we can move on to the next step: 2. Move completely to libpng 1.2.x. If almost all packages using libpng in sarge are rebuilt to use versioned symbols, we can then make a smooth transition for all packages still using libpng2/libpng10. Then, we can hope to have all libpng2/libpng10 packages removed from sarge+1. 3. Legacy packages will follow in the long term. We can probably remove libpng3 as soon as all packages have been rebuilt. For libpng3-dev, this requires changing quite a load of source packages so we'll have to wait. This leaves only 3 packages in sarge+1: libpng12-0, libpng12-dev and libpng3-dev, instead of 8 in sarge. This should bring back libpng handling to that of a normal library. -- .''`.
