Well, as i understood it, libpng2 is for gnome 1 and gtk1, and libpng3
is for gnome2, not really clear what libpng12-0 is about ...

Mmm, now i understand, libpng3 says :

 This package is superceded by libpng12, provided for
 transitional purposes.

I guess this means that there really is only libpng2 and libpng12-0 ?

Given the above, if i parse the description correctly, i would say no,
but best would be to ask the libpng maintainer, maybe ?

BTW, you didn't respond me about the ocamlimages duplication, and if it
is ok with me to upload the new lablgtk ? 

And BTW, could you please unprioterize the severity of your bug report,
serious for something i cannot even upload to fix is a bit extreme,
don't you think ?
