I've fixed the situation so that any -dev package that 
compiles with libpng2/3-dev will have a 

Depends: libpng2-dev
or
Depends: libpng3-dev.


This way, any package cannot be built against both, because
libpng2-dev and libpng3-dev conflict.

Unfortunately it wasn't done this way until very recently.

That is one of the reasons why I went around writing 
libpkg-guide.
