It's a reasonable transition plan. However, introducing a new imlib library with a new SONAME will not solve Bug #128377, as gnome-help-browser binary is linked with libgdk_imlib's current SONAME. If you favour doing the libpng2 -> libpng3 transition by introducing new imlib packages (and SONAMES), then all packages that link with the current imlib package need to link with libpng2.
