...which is the only version available in unstable. If we were to switch
the B-D to libpng16-dev the package would FTBFS in unstable. I don't see
how this is our bug: we cannot change the build-dependency to a package
that exists only in experimental. This MBF feels... a bit premature :)

We /could/ however switch our B-D to libpng12-dev | libpng-dev
immediately, since HHVM builds with both. It seems libpng12 Provides
libpng-dev, but libpng16 does not, any reason why?
