Ok.  I've been away from email, as you noticed, and will be back
tonight (CET).

I'll have to consider if any big problems arise, because this mustn't
turn into a time sink.

Ok, I'd like to have a look.  What do these patches do, ie, (why)
can't they flow upstream?

1.0.13.

I'll change dependencies to libpng10, and will split the package into
netpbm, libnetpbm9, libnetpbm9-dev[el], simply mimicking what Debian
is doing; that should be enough?

I'll have to read up to the # binaries thing, the only thing I would
like to consider* is moving /usr/bin to /usr/bin/netpbm, but I'd
rather not.

Greetings,  
Jan.

* but only if there's a good reason because of broken filesystem and
  lookup support, and some sort of consensus (summary, anyone? :-)
