2) Introduce a libpng15 compat package with the old soname, to satisfy
deps while the packages are being rebuilt. You'd need something
similar to:

"Review Request: libpng12 - backwards compatibility for libpng"
Note for the libpng jumo from 12 to 15, a lot of packages needed minor
changes, not simple rebuilds. So that change took a while to implement.
It sounds like going from 15 to 16 will be a lot less work, and hence
may not take long enough to be worth adding a compatibility package.
