Yes, we (http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-gmagick/) are planning
to do a new upload soon.
The work is being done on our SVN repository
(http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-gmagick)
I just want to have more eyes looking at
http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/misc/imagemagick_diff.txt (applied on
top of SVN), to see if everything is OK. Then I think that it's ready
for an upload.

(The need for more review on the above patch is that, sincerely, I
don't have experience in packaging libs; so more people reviewing
would be good to avoid any mistakes)

I see. I hope that soon we get an updated imagemagick available on Debian.

We are 3 people working on it (Luciano Bello, Daniel Kobras and me),
so at least for now I think that there is no need to orphan it, right?
:-)
