Bug Description
Binary package hint: imagemagick
imagemagick 7:6.4.5.4.dfsg1-1 has just been merged into jaunty from experimental. This package breaks everything that build-depends on it, by gratuitously renaming the -dev packages and not providing any compatibility layer. This means we would have to add an Ubuntu delta to 39 source packages to make them buildable again in Ubuntu.
Please fix imagemagick to retain build-dependency compatibility instead.

Hi,
I am willing to work on this but I am new to working package managment issues so so guidance would be great.
From what I cat tell the problem arises because:
the package libmagick10 is split into the packages:
libmagickcore1
libmagickwand1
the package libmagick9-dev is split into the packages:
libmagickcore-dev
libmagickwand-dev
I am totally guessing here but would adding a conflicts: libmageck10, libmagic9-dev and replaces: libmageck10, libmagic9-dev (for the appropriate new packages) in the control file solve the problem or is a more substantial change needed?
Manny
