I think the reason (hind-sight) was that I don't expect teTeX to depend on libpng, (and to be honest, I always go via the ps/ghostscript route to pdf and I don't use pdftex myself, as the last time I use it it didn't support even eps graphics; and pdftex is a relatively new inclusion to teTeX) and another reason was I have a custom compiled xv which I uses quite often, and it obviously depends on libpng and I would rather not break it. By the way, the installation of teTeX still finishes - it is only during the post-install script stage ("texconfig all"?) that you get a lot of messages flashing by, and some of which is related to not being able to run pdftex and families; but the script does go all the way to completion and you would miss those messages if you are not reading it. The only obvious indication that something is missing is that the end of the post-install script, a window pops up saying "missing import ...

I wouldn't describe it as dire - only folk updating can get the new tex stuff, and there's no reason for them to skip png.
