Bug#650601: How to proceed with libpng transition

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu <iwamatsu@debian.org>]

Hi,

Sorry,reply was late.

Major package of most is the state that can be migrated to libpng1.6.
I think if we can migrate major package, and I can be migrated
gradually also packages that depend on them.
However, I can not be involved in this work so much by the end of this month.
If I restart, then the data is read from the next month.

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
