Bug#697821: libpng-dev in experimental has now the real package
Hi,
>Sounds great, thanks for all your efforts in the libpng transition!
I did very little, most effort was by Tobias :)

wonderful! as a starting point, can you please consider having a look to my
first review steps?

don't hesitate to set yourself as owner :p

ok
>Yeah, I agree. We should definitely ask for binNMUs.
well, I don't remember exactly what was uninstallable, but I tried an
apt-get install libfreetype6 libpng-dev and it worked.
it dragged the old libpng12-dev and the new libpng-dev, so in some way both libpng have
been successfully installed.
So, it might even work without binNMUs if we are enough lucky :)
>No worries, some things take time!
I hope to see it fixed in less than one month, we are still fighting with multiarch
stuff [1] (an hint is appreciated!)

I think a non-multiarch libpng would be a mess in Debian
thanks!
