Hi Julian :-) !
the build of python-gd only looks in /usr/lib for its required libraries.
> This fails for its dependencies in multiarch paths.
> When building in unstable with multiarched libpng the library will not
> have png support:
> >>> import gd
> >>> gd.image('/icon.png')
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
> File "gd.py", line 22, in __init__
> self.__dict__["_image"] = _gd.image(*args)
> IOError: unsupported file type (only
> .gif|.png|.jpeg|.jpg|.gd|.gd2|.xbm|.xpm accepted)
>
> please improve the build process by making it not requiring knownledge
> of the default library paths (e.g. by test linking) or add the multiarch
> paths to the search path using dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH

In Advance thank you so much to report it.
Sometime ago for recommendation of Jakub Wilk, I decide to maintain
python-gd in Debian Python Team[0] and I am waiting for a review. However
if you want feel free to take it and do any change[1] ( right now recognize
multiarch paths ), merge them with svn repository[2] and upload it to
unstable.
