There's nothing wrong with installing a library with a different SOVER (as you did), there's everything wrong with then linking the old SOVER to the new one. That was (as you discovered) your only mistake here. It's perfectly fine to have multiple versions installed.

Debian and Ubuntu will move to libpng 1.6.x at some point, probably, but we're in no rush to port the entire world either.
