No, it doesn't. Libpng15-32bit doesn't conflict with libpng15, and I
don't want it to; that would be quite annoying for anyone building
packages that need one of both. There's also no technical reason to have
them conflict.

I did mention it:

16-10-2011, to fink-devel, Damian (wine maintainer), Gnome list
(freetype219 maintainer), Dave (libpng15 maintainer):

I also asked whether this was OK, and got no feedback:

Later, you mentioned that libpng15-32bit would be a better name, so I
changed it. I got no feedback on any of my other questions, so I left
the build file as I had initially made it.
