What are the plans for Imagemagick 7 in Debian? After stumbling again over an issue with Imagemagick 6, which could be solved by booting into a different distribution with Imagemagick 7 support, I would like to know what the plans for the introduction of IM 7 into Debian are.

I understand that lots of servers rely on the old Imagemagick 6 syntax, but it should be possible to have both installed in parallel. There's no IM 7 deb package with the same default options which could be used for this, even though IM 7 is now out for several years. What's the reason for it?
