Please see bug #611260: the major part of this is in fact a bug in
graphicsmagick, not in psiconv.

With my patch, and a fixed graphicsmagick, psiconv works fine.

I imagine that it's too late to fix graphicsmagick for squeeze, so I
see the following options:

1. Remove psiconv just for squeeze.

2. Build psiconv against imagemagick just for squeeze (I know that
this does not work as well as with graphicsmagick, but at least it
works).

But please do resurrect it after squeeze: I know that the popcon
figures are not huge, but as upstream maintainer of plptools (which is
in a similar position) I still get regular mail, mostly from Debian
users, trying to use it. It's just at this point, when the relevant
devices are becoming obsolete, that people are trying to recover their
old data.

In this case the need is particularly acute since the upstream
maintainer of psiconv is unresponsive, and I have not been able to get
a new patched release made; so it may well be that the only usable
version ends up being Debian's.

Thanks in advance.
