Confirmed -- it's a bug in the Debian package. I'll upload a new
revision. [
Incidentally, my unreleased 1.9.0 snapshots already have the following
changelog entry:
* debian/control: Added to Build-Depends
libpaper-utils for paperconf
libjpeg62-dev for jpeg (thanks to Kurt Hornik for the suggestion)
libprce3-dev for pcre
linpng12-dev for png
zlib1g-dev for zlib
]

Either one of a) wait for 1.8.1-2, b) try the testing build available on
CRAN which may have png support or c) re-build it yourself.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
