I can confirm that prboom is built with support for PNG screenshots 
and that it saves in this format by default. Regarding the build, 
libpng12-dev is currently pulled in by libdirectfb-dev, which is in 
turn pulled in by libsdl1.2-dev. I admit that's a rather fragile 
chain, so maybe libpng-dev should be added as an explicit Build-Depends.
