Because imlib+png2 didn't happen when he sent the mail at first.

G1 packages should be built with png2 packages,
G2 packages should be built with png3 packages.

I have requested maintainers to make them Depends: on libpng2-dev 
and libpng3-dev so that it gets obvious, but they failed to 
heed my request.

My decision is to make it Never happen, so that applications 
cannot be satisfied its build-dependency if such cases happen
where libpng2 and libpng3 are going to be linked at the same time.

However, that has not happened.
