[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#536826: libgomp1 dependency

It seems there's an inconsistency between gcc-4.3 and gcc-4.4: gcc-4.3 has no 
dependency on libgomp1, while gcc-4.4 does.  IIRC, gcc-4.3 used to depend on 
libgomp1 until recently; however, I can't find any changelog entry to indicate 
whether dropping the dependency was intentional or whether it was an 
oversight.  If it was intentional, then why does gcc-4.4 still have the 
dependency?

The result of this is that a package linking against -lgomp, without declaring 
a Build-Depends on libgomp1, will possibly link that library statically -- 
which will fail if the target is a shared library, as in #536826.
