I've been pondering about this one for a while but haven't come up with
a truely satisfying fix yet. By definition, graphicsmagick is compatible with 
imagemagick as it's a fork. However, it's compatible to a pretty ancient
version. The number of missing features in graphicsmagick is still quite
small, and few users will notice a difference, so I'd rather not lose
the Provides: imagemagick. Technically, as you're using a feature in
imagemagick 6.x (the changelog doesn't mention the exact version it was
added, but 6.0.2 already knows it), the correct fix is for iceweasel to
build-depend on imagemagick (>= 5:6.0). But then I'm not to happy to
require maintainers to care about compatibility with pre-woody versions
of imagemagick, either. What's your feeling on this one?

Regards,

Daniel.
