I changed my own personal site http://www.eye-net.com.au/ over to pngs
(I'd hardly call it a popular one though) and found that you can have
all sorts of wierd problems with them.
I can certainly arrange for the debbar.pl file to use pngs though I
couldn't correctly get the alpha channel happening for me in gimp, which
means transparency didn't work too well.
At least I got the libgimp-perl deb working again.
