I agree 100%. It would be shame to drop netpbm only because it is able to
read/and write .GIF-files ...
Put the pnmtogif/giftopnm stuff into non-free.

PS: Do you provide shared library versions of the libp[bpnm].a files? 
    I haven't tried this out (yet), but this would obsolete the merging
    of the binaries (MERGE define) and the resultant binaries would be
    easier replaceable (mgetty's g3topbm comes to mind)/it would be easier
    to write separate programs.
