Quote from that web page: "This directory contains packages and tools
which are still being developed, and are still in the alpha testing
stage. Users shouldn't be using packages from here, because they can be
dangerous and harmful even for the most experienced people."
Given this statement, I'm very much inclined to blame the problems on
the experimental status of the libpng 1.5.11 Debian package, so my
proposed solution is to run POV-Ray on a Debian stable distribution,
and/or contact the people responsible for the libpng 1.5.11 Debian
package for support (and/or to inform them that they /may/ have a
problem there).
(That said, I guess I'll have a look at Debian experimental myself; no
promise though.)
