That seems to be courtesy of ldconfig.  If you have libpng-dev installed,
ldconfig finds .so files in the directory with an soname of 'libpng12.so.0',
doesn't find a file of that name in the directory, so creates a symlink...
even though this was already available in /lib.

I'd say this is misbehavior on the part of ldconfig since there's no need
for this symlink and no way to get around its creation AFAICS.
