Hi folks,

Thomas Bushnell has graciously agreed to provide a libpng12-based gdk-imlib1
and gdk-imlib1-dev from the imlib source package (gdk-imlib1 as a wrapper
package, gdk-imlib1-dev as a Provides: of gdk-imlib11-dev). This means that
the majority of these packages should no longer require a rebuild, or source
changes, with three exceptions:

- Packages which have a versioned build-dependency on gdk-imlib1-dev must
  still be updated, because this is now a virtual package.
- Packages which build-depend on imlib1-dev must be updated to use
  imlib11-dev, which has existed already for years.
- Packages which depend/build-depend on libpng10 are still
  uninstallable/unbuildable due to the removal of libpng10 from unstable.

With this mail, I am updating the bug titles for the packages in the first
two categories, and closing the bug reports for the rest. This means that
only the maintainers of gco, gtk-engines, xzgv, mozart-gtk, pixelize, and
vertex need to take further action wrt the imlib transition. Your packages
will be linked against gdk-imlib11 next time you upload, but there is no
need to do so in the short term.

For packages in the third category, separate bugs have already been filed
about the need to rebuild against libpng, so there's no need to keep a
separate bug open here.

Thanks,
