The way it was done last time on the 1.5 upgrade was to have a compat-libpng package that had the 1.5 release so that nothing broke while things were rebuilt and then once the vast majority of the rebuild happened it was then dropped to avoid this problem.
The last time a lot of packages needed patches to use 1.5. So it was expected to take a while to clean up all of the packages that used 1.2. I get the impression, that this time around simple rebuilds are expected to work in most cases.
