well sorry, the package was broken to begin with. A package where I 
can't type "mgar build" is broken, so I was trying to fix it, not break 
it. it surely means it hadn't been built and updated since a while.

No single change? apart from it not working, it had to be updated to 
libpng16.
Also, since I update glib, it is a good idea to reresh reverse depencies.

Other packages depending on it were not compiling for problems with it, 
so I thought a refresh would be a good thing. (cairo)

Many reasons thus to refresh a build, don't you think?

Also, I asked you if you were going to upload the package yourself, 
after the fixes you did. I waited a day to see if you would upload it, I 
asked if you were done, I got no answer and just uploaded it since it 
built fine for me.

No intention to "steal" the package from you! I don't want to rob the 
glory. Perhaps I'm not as touchy about being a maintainer of a certain 
package, since it just get assigned/changed with an upload. I can even 
think it as a bit inconvenient: another person can't step in temporarily.

Sorry,

Riccardo
