It's been my experience with this kind of ABI breakage that the only
good way out is through.  If upstream has not been responsive to the
need to change the soname in response to the ABI changes, then I would
at least recommend changing the library package name to something like
libmagick6debian1 so that this can be sorted out within the Debian
package dependencies in unstable while we're waiting.
