The package that I have recently prepared of pngcrush is
based on version 1.6.2 which was released in Jan-Feb 2006
in response to the RC bugs that exist against pngcrush in
Debian's BTS.

Also as far as I know optipng has been recently fixed up in order to
comply with Debian's security requirements so that the package could
enter the archive. 

So I don't think we can take these packages to be inactive.

On the other hand it is true that all the authors are active
members of the png-mng-implement group of people. So someone could
try to mail them to see if they feel that this unification is
worthwhile.

Regards,

Kapil.
