The program as it stands depends on latex-xcolor, however the author intends to later on make it only a recommends and not a dependency. Until such time, it should be added as depends.
I have hence changed the bug title and linked to the upstream Debian bug I reported.
Turns out that the bug is partially topstream and partially in the Debian packaging. See http:// lists.nongnu. org/archive/ html/dvipng/ 2013-06/ threads. html especially http:// lists.nongnu. org/archive/ html/dvipng/ 2013-06/ msg00004. html.
