I'll let the maintainers make the final decision on that. It just feels wrong 
to workaround a libpng issue in a dependent packages. At the very least there 
should be a comment here (again) clearly stating that bandwidthd doesn't 
actually use libz, and that once the libpng issue is fixed this dependency can 
be removed.
