Due to the build of the MMX optimised routines, there is a new symbol,
named png_pass_width. (No, don't ask me why.)

As I don't think it is used by any applications, maybe the shlibs change
can indeed be removed. Another option is to remove the optimisations
until the package is in sarge, or to simply remove this package. What do
you think?
