Bug#650601: How to proceed with libpng transition

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Dear all,

I would inquire about your plans concerning libpng transition.
We have now a new version in experimental, but as long as the
pile of depending packages are not rebuild against the new
libpng there will not be much progress (freetype, harfbuzz,...)

Are you planning any concerted action with the release managers
to push a new libpng-dev based on 1.6 into unstable and start
a real transition?

Thanks a lot  and all the best

Norbert
