I understand, so it was upstream that caused this confusion! thanks. I 
just went to use 15 which is current, while I work on 16

what do you mean by "soname change"? I see that libpng15 introduced a 
new soname, bu hides it with a link

so libpng.so is then linked to libpng15.so.15.13.0

I thought of adding libpng16.so.16.xxx to follow this reasoning.
