It's probably worth noting that images encoded in the .xpm format are
binary pixmaps embedded in a C source file.
Consider the following commands (requires wget and imagemagick):
f=openlogo-nd-50
wget http://www.debian.org/logos/$f.png
convert $f.png $f.xpm
rm $f.png
convert $f.xpm $f.png
Or, if that's too difficult (perhaps convert doesn't support the hex
format you're seeing), run the program to display the image and then do
a screen capture.
I'd be more worried about data formats which we can't support (such as
programs written in languages which don't have any free implementations).
