  I don't see what you're talking about. Let's see. Current build-rdeps in main:

Reverse Build-depends of libmagick9-dev in main:
------------------------------

libtuxcap (warning given in #625599). Dealt with
gnuift (warning given in #625546). Dealt with
libfprint (warning given in  #625597). Admittedly not dealt with yet,
but seems under way
kismet (warning given in #625548). Same as above
imview (warning given in #625547). Isn't concerned as the build dep is
libmagickcore-dev | libmagick9-dev
autotrace (warning given in #625593). NMU under way.

  libmagick9-dev stopped being a real package in squeeze. Surely
people had time to adapt ?

  For now, there are only two packages not dealt with, libfprint and
kismet. I'm ready to NMU them in case of need.

  Cheers,

      Vincent
