Package: libpng1.6
Version: 1.6.20-2
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,
I have prepared a bunch of fixes for libpng1.6, they should just modernize the 
packaging, while fixing 

some probably serious issues the package have (explaining the important 
severity) during upgrade cycles

(circular dependencies)


I won't probably upload it on experimental, but I would appreciate if you could 
ack the changes

you can see a build here
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#experimental/libpng1.6/1.6.20-3/buildlog
or find a debdiff attached to this email

summary of the changes:

* Switch to dh-autoreconf
* Remove libpng16-devtools circular dependency, recommend it instead.
* Fix duplicate description lintian warning
* Fix copyright lintian warnings
* Remove copyright.in file
* Use new plain dh calls in rules file
* Remove some old lintian overrides.

the package should behave exactly in the same way, I did a debdiff to both 
changes files and they look the same
(except for the removed lintian overrides)

also build logs seems to be almost identical.

thanks,

Gianfranco
