libpng3-dev is a virtual package, so you can't have a versioned
dependency on that. I think depending on libpng-dev is only a problem
if it's a non-versioned build-dependency. A versioned build-dependency
can't be satisfied by libpng2-dev. Just in case dpkg suddenly develops
support for versioned provides, I'd use:
Build-Depends: libpng-dev (>= 1.2.1-1.2), libpng3-dev
In case there's ever a libpng4-dev which happens to provide libpng-dev,
and in case there's ever support for versioned provides, the above line
would keep everything pinned to the correct version of libpng3-dev.

libsdl-image1.2-dev needs a dependency on libpng3-dev because you can't
compile stuff (without warnings) if libpng.so is not present. And you
want to have libpng.so pointing to libpng.so.3. You need the same kind
of dependency in the Depends line as in the Build-Depends line.

Ok, let me see...
$ grep-available -s Package,Depends -F Depends libsdl-image1.2 |
grep-dctrl -s Package -F Depends libpng2
Package: libparagui1.0
Package: libsdl-ocaml
Package: burgerspace
Package: libsdl-perl
Package: criticalmass
$ grep-available -s Package,Depends -F Depends libsdl-image1.2 |
grep-dctrl -s Package -F Depends libpng3
[empty]
libsdl-image1.2 itself depends on libpng3 right now. Since nothing
depends on libsdl-image1.2 and libpng3 (unstable, i386), recompiling
libsdl-image1.2 agaist libpng2 is atm the painless solution. That
means the bug that motivated you to recompile libsdl-image1.2 against
libpng3 will have to be reopened. *sigh*
For the maintainers of the above mentioned packages, it'd be
worthwhile figuring out why these packages depend on libpng2. They
shouldn't.

Yeah, I can do it if there's need for that.
