I'll upload it. I'll check Julien's package first.

Thank you.

Just for the record. The libpng security issues were communicated
to the security team twice on Nov 9 and 15 2006. On Nov 15 2006
both vorlon and aba were made aware of the security problems. I
didn't get any response. I don't know if Sam or Mike received
any response to the messages I sent to the security team, vorlon
and aba.
