I agree with you, unfortunately I lack of time to give to each package for this transition, and the NMU was enough, even if delaying the issue to the next transition :) thanks for checking, I should have spent a minute more and avoided this NMU, but I was trying to be safe, instead of being sorry :) >Please use the attached patch to properly fix this so that we don't >need to touch this on the next transition! :) Not providing a libpng16-dev library, but only a libpng-dev one, will probably avoid the ~100 NMU we had to do for this one :D cheers, and thanks Gianfranco
