You can only have one obsoletion, I suggestto obsolete CSWlibpng-dev
with CSWlibpng16-dev and take out the obsoletion from -15.

>>> 2) I did a libpng15-dev, which is a versioned respin of the old developer package without the symlink. I created a branch of libpng for that.

I suggest to make -dev *not* archall by convention. There is the risk of differences which
are hard to detect due to endianess and/or bitwidth. You can then upload all packages at once.
It is mainly important to upload the obsoletion and the obsoleted package at the same time
or you will get errors about duplicate pathes.
