According to my experience it is not needed to *re*create the pngs.  The
same is true for PDFs.  The important thing is that the TeX source is
provided but sometimes it makes no sense to add a bunch of Build-Depends
and bother autobuilders just to recreate what is just delivered.  The
main point is that the source *exists*.  So if it causes trouble to you
to create the PNG in a reasonable way at commandline comparable to what
most probably was done in InkScape (or something like this) I'd simply
use the existing PNG files and be done with it.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
