I did, but revdep-rebuild did not take *.la into account (I did run it as "revdep-rebuild --ignore -- --jobs 10 --keep-going" if that has any impact) and many of the things it wanted to rebuild plainly failed because a library that did not link against libpng12 had it in its *.la (libgnomeui is on example of this). This led to that the library (example: libgnomeui) was not set to be rebuilt, but the packages pulling libgnomeui in broke because while linking they could not find libpng12.
