[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#806425: please enable WebP support

[Steinar H. Gunderson]

Package: imagemagick
Version: 8:6.8.9.9-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

ImageMagick supports WebP, and GraphicsMagick in Debian supports it now
(since #789745). Would you please consider enabling it in the Debian package?
I know there were worries about security in the past, but as far as I know,
it has been extensively fuzzed upstream and thus should not be a large risk.

(I'm reporting from stable, but of course the bug report applies to unstable
as well.)
