Tentatively, should we just run the fixer for the affected packages and push them to testing (so visuals don't break all of a sudden after updates)? Whether the maintainer says anything or not, we're gonna have to move stuff out from testing anyway. Thanks for taking the trouble to look into this.

After moving the libpng 1.6 rebuilds to [testing], I noticed that some PNG icons wouldn't load. In my case the broken icons belonged to nm-applet and smplayer (both have been fixed in [extra]).
Some KDE components are probably affected but I'm not sure of the extend there.
The plan is to run a check on the source files of all packages to better assess the situation. (pngchecker.py can be used for that.น)
So, not many packages are affected after all:

I think we should wait a bit for the libpng maintainer to say whether the invalid PNGs will be readable again in a future libpng version. If not, we can go ahead and fix the affected packages.
