Both are 'valid' setups, with a slight advantage of the branch that if the package in Factory every breaks (e.g. deleted), the full sources are retained in the devel package.
Not sure if that is valid, not my call. What needs to happen to make libpng12 behave like every other package? Are there more odd package setups like that in Factory?
to change it would be the maintainers task:
osc linktobranch graphics libpng12
I don't know how many such packages are; as it does not cause any
issues, there is also no reason to track them actively.
as long as you only use 'osc co' (without -u) the result is the same.
you can branch the package, submit fixes, work with it as you normally
would.
