Bug#1069020: release.debian.org: binNMUs to fix libpng-using udebs

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-boot@lists.debian.org

Hi,

libpng1.6 regressed a while back, leading a few key udebs to become
uninstallable[1]. That was fixed rather quickly[2] but binNMUs haven't
happened yet. We haven't heard back from people driving the 64-bit
time_t transition either, it's been a while, so I'm contacting you to
see if you could arrange some binNMUs, without disrupting their work.

  2. https://tracker.debian.org/news/1515481/accepted-libpng16-1643-4-source-into-unstable/

Please consider binNMU-ing the following source package against
libpng-dev (>= 1.6.43-4):
 - cairo
 - gdk-pixbuf
 - freetype [armel]

That's based on udeb installability checks[3], and I only verified on
amd64 that both cairo and gdk-pixbuf get appropriate dependencies for
their udebs when rebuilt.
