Dear Maintainer,

Package vlfeat build-depends on imagemagick. This dependency will be 
satified when package graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat (which provides 
the virtual package imagemagick) is installed.

However, when the real package imagemagick is not installed, vlfeat 
FTBFS, because it needs the file /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml, 
referenced in debian/rules. Actually, this file is in package 
imagemagick-6-config, which is a dependency of imagemagick.

I think that "Build-Conflicts: graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat" is 
necessary for fixing the issue.

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
