Take a look at
<http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=imlib&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all>
and the README.debian from imlib2 1.9.14-11 attached to this mail. Unstable's
Imlib2 is the same Imlib1 just linked to libpng3 instead of libpng2 and
dropped gtk usage.
We now could discuss, if there isn't a more elegant way out and maybe we
therefore should consult Steve M. Robbins, debian's imlib maintainer?

Imlib Version 2
---------------
This version of Imlib and gdk-imlib are linked with libpng3.
Consequently, the SONAMEs have been incremented to libImlib.so.2 and
libgdk_imlib.so.2, respectively. Note that as of this writing,
the upstream source has not yet changed their SONAME. However, I
have been promised that they will take that course.
No library that links with this version of Imlib or gdk_imlib may also
link with libpng2.
No application that links with this version of Imlib or gdk_imlib may
link with libpng2, neither directly nor through a third library.
If you accidentally link an application with imlib and libpng2, the
application may behave in unpredictible ways, possibly crashing,
possibly emitting warnings similar to the following:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.1
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.0.12
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
Imlib Version 1
---------------
Imlib1 and gdk-imlib1 are compiled against libpng2. At this time,
these packages are no longer built from this source. I hope that all
dependent packages can be "ported" to libpng3: at source level, I
don't think there are any changes, so it should only require a
recompile. If this proves impossible, let me know and I will
reintroduce imlib1 and associated -dev package.
The Palette File
----------------
The system Imlib/Gdk-Imlib palette file was moved from the directory
`/etc/im' to `/etc/imlib'. This move may cause problems for users who
have a `.imrc' file in their home directory since that file may
contain a reference to the old location of the palette file. To
correct this problem, the "PaletteFile" entry should look like:
PaletteFile /etc/imlib/im_palette.pal
I believe this changed happened in late 1999.
