I'm subscribing motu-sru to require a go-ahead for fixing this in the stable release:

1. oxine is currently broken in hardy since it requires a gutsy library (libimagick9)
2. a minimal patch is attached. In principle a simple rebuild is enough but an additional fix is necessary to solve a ftbfs caused by the xine version check. Note that this is not applicable to the development release (upstream changed to using pkg-config instead of xine-config).
3. TEST CASE: on an hardy system with NO libimagick9 installed, use your preferred package manager to install oxine. The installation will fail since oxine requires libimagick9 to be present. Now use the package from hardy-proposed; this will install and run fine since it requires libimagick10 which is by default in any hardy installation.
4. There is no regression potential of the patch, since it only allows the package to be built with the correct version of libimagick.
